youth Reset
Last Friday we had our bi-weekly youth reset. Sister Emily led us in some lively praise singing followed by Brother Jim and Sister Cheri serving hot dogs and chips,and ice cream. After our appetites were taken care of, the real fun began. Sister Janie had some group games and not to be done,Pastor John kept the action going,with more games. Brother Peter led us in a devotional from 2 Corinthians 13, here we learned about the difference between real love and fake love.
Its a thrill to see everyone enjoying and participating in the games. Hope you enjoy the pictures

Thank You Lord For Everything
God is so good. So many songs go thru my heart when I stand at the ocean, "Our God is a awesome God"," How great Thou art" and my favorite "It Is well with my soul "
John and I were able to go to the coast for a few days. It was so nice to not have a schedule. Nice to be able to enjoy God's creation. How could anyone say there is no God? I saw his power thru the waves crashing down. I felt the breeze against my face as my Lord gently touch my face. I saw saw God's creation in the changing of time and seasons as the tides went back and forth.
We are given a free gift, that sometimes we take for granted. The gift of life, peace and silence. The gift of God. We can get so busy in this life..... this life God gave us. We get so busy being busy that we can miss the peace that can be found in silence. Silence that brings forth the sound of birds, trees rustling in the wind. As we silently use our eyes to see that beautiful sunset break across the sky. Our ears taking in God's creation. We can see and hear all this when we stop and push away the busyness and focus on our creator.

Stand Up For Pigs
National Pig Day recognizes and gives thanks to domesticated pigs. For some unknown reason, big, pot-bellied pigs seen in zoos, are often the symbol of the day. Pigs are clever and intelligent animals. But, most people are unaware of this high level of intelligence. They can be taught to do tricks. Some people even keep them as pets. Today is a day to give pigs the respect that they deserve.
National Pig day is celebrated by zoos, too. Activities include Snort Offs, Pig Outs, and online Pig Chats. However you choose, do not miss celebrating this day.
Ellen Stanley, a Texas art teacher created National Pig Day in 1972. Her intent was to to recognize and be thankful for pigs as intelligent domestic animals.
There is no evidence to suggest that this is truly a "National" day, which requires an act of congress.(http://www.holidayinsights.com/other/pigday.htm)
