Tommy Lawson passed away, but there is no obituary at this time. Please be in prayer for Becky and the rest of the family. Some of you relate to him as a classmate, a fellow coach, a church member, a teacher, etc. To me, he was the teacher across the hall for many years.
Most of you will have special plans for the next few days. Be sure not to leave out Jesus and what He did for each of us? Think about others as you pray and as you plan your time today.
Happy Thursday to all of you. I hope you can enjoy God’s love and blessings in many ways today.

DEATH
Last week, Charlie Schwartz asked if I had heard that Roger Pittman passed away Monday. Even thought there was no obituary, that apparently was correct. His body was donated to science. A memorial service will be held at a later date.
Please pray for Lois and Karen.
PRAYER FOCUS
Please also pray for other families who have lost a family member recently.
It is almost Easter. I have been giving you an Easter verse every morning. Today, you choose a favorite one or look up one of your own.
Today, as you go about your day, pray for those whose names come to mind.
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
Today, let spend time praying for the countries and the people of the Middle East.
Daily Prayer Guide
Keeping your personal prayer list up to day is very important. Spend some time doing that today.
For instance: We prayed this week for Todd Lee as he had back surgery. Today, we can thank God for the progress Todd has made in the last few days and that he was able to be in church yesterday!

Revelation 17-19
Have you heard the word “Others” from me? This week, let focus some prayer time on others. Let’s allow God to guide us with those He would like for us to pray for and actions He would like for us to take this week.
Our Sunday School lesson was on forgiveness. Let’s be willing to forgive others. Let’s try to make it easy for others to forgive us!
Where do the days, weeks, months, and years go? It’s amazing how time flies by so quickly.

Quote by Annie Armstrong
“The future lies all before us… shall it only be a slight advance upon what we usually do? Ought it not to abound, a leap forward, to altitudes of endeavor and success undreamed of before?”
Annie Armstrong Offering (North America)
Because of the Annie Armstrong offering, more than 11,000 churchs have been planted since 2010.
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Please continue to pray for missionaries in North America and contribute to the Annie Armstrong Offering .
As you move through this Monday, pray that those around you will not think first of chocolate candy and new clothes. The Easter season represents so much more.
