We continue this week looking at how our emotions affect our spiritual wellbeing. This week’s emotion is a hard one, regret. We all have regrets.

The time comes, however, when either we forgive someone, forgive ourselves or try to right whatever causes the regret. Sometimes regret cannot be resolved.

We can’t get stuck. We need to be able to move on and live our lives. Jesus gives us the power to do that.

Worship is at 9:30 and you’re invited and welcome to join us.

We are looking forward to this Sunday. . . our worship service at 9:30 am will be held at the Eagles’ Pavilion in Clarion, followed by a picnic.

Where does your joy come from? Is joy hard to find in your life? There will always be struggles in life, but joy can live in the midst of those struggles, if you know the joy that comes only from Jesus.

What’s your stress level these days? Have you ever considered that Moses had a lot of stress? He had to hear the complaints and settle the arguments of thousands of Israelites.

Thankfully, his father in law, Jethro, gave him some helpful advice.

Here’s some helpful advice to lower your stress level-start your day with God. Don’t allow stress to crowd out the time you spend in prayer and devotions.

Join us for worship Sunday at 9:30. All are welcome!

The parable of The Good Samaritan is probably the best known and most meaningful of Jesus’ parables. Who is your neighbor? Who are you in this parable? The priest, the Levite or the Samaritan?

All are welcome to join us for worship on Sunday morning at 9:30am!

What fences have you built in your life? Fences to keep certain people out? Fences to keep your life separate from others?

We stand on a shoreline between who’s acceptable and who’s unacceptable, people like us and people foreign to us, what’s comfortable and what’s uncomfortable.

Jesus was a bridge builder not a fence builder. How about you?

Join us for worship Sunday morning at 9:30 am. All are welcome!

Sunday during worship (9:30am) we will be celebrating Shelly Rhoades who has been our youth leader for 24 years who is retiring. All are welcome to join us.

We are reminded of Paul’s words to Timothy as he prepared him to take over Paul’s ministry, “I have kept the faith.” Shelly has not only kept the faith, but passed in on to many in the course of her work with our youth in the church and community!

Please share with anyone you know who has been a part of youth group.
