As you thank God every morning and evening, keep in mind this quote: "Every sunrise is an invitation to brighten someone's day." Will you?

We so enjoyed Bishop Carrie Schofield-Broadbent's visit on Mother's Day. She showed her love of God throughout her stay especially during her sermon, interactions with the congregation, and the blessing of our rejuvenated Memorial Garden. It was a treat to share food and fellowship after the service and even had a cardinal come knocking at the parish hall window.

With tomorrow being Mother's Day, many will celebrate the women in their lives. How will you celebrate? Maybe sit quietly next to her in a pew thanking God for bringing her into your life. Maybe visit her final resting place or a memorial garden and cherish sweet memories. Maybe joining family and friends to share and create treasured times.
We will be doing the same at Ascension tomorrow. Please join us for our service at 9:30 and fellowship during coffee hour afterward.

Copied from a friend:
Today has been a rough day I was at TJ Maxx today and heard a loud crash and something shattering. Being nosy, I walked towards the sound and saw some people whispering and looking back to the end of the next aisle. When I walked down that aisle, I saw that an older lady had hit a shelf and many things had fallen to the ground and broken. She was kneeling on the floor embarrassed, frantically trying to clean up. I felt so bad for her. Every one was just standing there staring at her. So I went and knelt beside her and told her not to worry and started helping her pick up the broken pieces. After about a minute, the store manager came and knelt beside us and said, “Leave it, we will clean this up.” The lady, totally embarrassed said, “I need to pay for all this.” The manager smiled, helped her to her feet and said, “No ma’am, we have insurance for this, you do not have to pay anything!” If you have read this far, give me another minute.
Wherever you are, close your eyes, and imagine God doing the same for you! Imagine the broken pieces of your mistakes or the pieces of your broken heart from all the blows life has thrown at you all over the floor and you’re there trying to collect all of the pieces and fix them yourself. Now imagine God comes and kneels right down beside you, smiles and says to you, “Leave it all there, I will clean this up for you.”
He loves you that much and wants to put all of those pieces back together if you will let Him! With Him we have this insurance and it’s called GRACE! It’s free! All you have to do is ask Him to forgive you, help you, and to heal you. He’s faithful, I promise!
