Dont Miss Your Chance to Bless and Be Blessed...The Needs are Many
CHURCH FAMILY BULLETIN BOARD
Dr. Seuss uses simple words to reach children but he also knows how to simplify things for us, adults, concerning serving others, as reported by The Newsletter newsletter. You can now use the bulletin board over near the Chapel Doors to tack up the following info: For Sale For Trade For Free Odd Jobs Wanted Etc Its easy to become discouraged when we pause to consider the needs all around us. So many worthy causes and pressing concerns require action. What can one person with limited resources accomplish? Theodor Geisel (a.k.a. Dr. Seuss) said: Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not. Were most effective and fulfilled when we put our God-given talents and resources into areas he has uniquely shaped our hearts to be passionate for. Passion is the key. If you want to make a difference, find something you care a whole awful lot about and then dive in.

In a Nutshell
A Sunday school teacher gave her second-graders a month to memorize Psalm 23. One little boy was excited about the task but just couldnt remember the whole chapter. When the day came for the children to recite Psalm 23 before the congregation, the nervous boy stepped up to the microphone and said, The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know!
