Keith’s Quill This has been an amazing April! Thank You Lord for your blessings on your people. We began with a wonderful Easter Sunrise service and a blessed worship service at church. We had Missionaries Tom and Terry Meyers reminding us of how the Lord can use ordinary people in extraordinary ways. We were challenged to “adopt” a Compassion Child. And we hosted two groups of young people on a Sunday morning that reminded us that God is still working mightily with His church. As you have time to look over this month’s calendar you might also see that May will also be a full and inspirational time. God continues to bless His church and I wanted to begin this article to you with a heartfelt affirmation of that fact. Also in the article I want to encourage us to pray. Just turn on the evening news and you will be given a full list of important prayer concerns. There are some Church items that I would like you to be remembering too. One of the first prayer requests is our upcoming Vacation Bible School. Tammy Thayn always does a great job in coordinating our VBS. She constantly needs more volunteers. You would be shocked to know how many people it does require to have a successful Bible School for one hundred children. So please consider praying and perhaps even volunteering. Also pray for the young people in our church. We plan on celebrating the Graduation of our Seniors from high school in May and one of the promises we make to them is that we will pray for them as they begin new things in their lives. Also pray for the unity of the church. We have had such a sweet spirit of cooperation and fellowship in our church for a long time. There seems to me to be a continual undercurrent, sent from the enemy of our souls, of disagreement and then sometimes animosity. Pray that even in our differences we can stay committed to Jesus and to building His kingdom. Pray for the precious people in our town that still need to come to the Lord for salvation. Pray that each of us in the church will have a desire to share the Good News with them. It is a great time to live in the Moab Community and an even better time to be a follower of Jesus. Let’s leverage both of these blessings into some fruitful service this May. Thank you to each one who is serving and supporting this work. May God bless you with every blessing.
