What a glorious Easter we had last week.   It was nice to see Bobbi & Zach back with us.  Priscilla taught a Sunday School lesson about doing the will of God regardless of our circumstances, God is worthy to be praised.  Pastor Larry led us in the Lord ’s Supper and I brought a message about Mary and the meeting she had with the risen Jesus.  After the service we had a wonderful dinner.  I want to thank everyone for the great food that was prepared and served.  I want to especially thank my neighbor Diane for the wonderful Easter baskets that we gave away after the dinner.  It was just the way Easter should be, fellowship with family praising God and eating together.  I hope we do that every Easter.

This week I want to pick up where we left off in the scripture verses last week. John 20: 19-30. Mary had told the disciples that she has seen the Lord and he was alive! But they were still hiding and being afraid then Jesus appears to them and the believing begins.  One disciple was not there, Thomas.  When the disciples told Thomas what had happen he did not believe them and required proof.  Soon afterwards Jesus appeared this time Thomas was with them and Jesus went to him and provided proof.  Have you ever wanted proof of what God has told you?  If God appeared and cleared up your doubts would that be a good thing or bad?  You may be surprised.  I hope you will join us on Sunday and talk about why we don’t see the proof Thomas asked for.

 I received some very bad news this morning about our brother Tim Terrell.  Cindy said he fell and there is some bleeding on his brain and he has had a stroke, he is at U T Southwestern Center in ICU.  We are asking for everyone to remember the Terrell family in your prayers and as soon as I know more I will let you know.  It is situations like this that we have to depend on our Faith and the grace of God to keep us going.  If you need us this week call us and let us help if we can.  I hope you have a blessed week, do good things for people every chance you get and invite someone to come with you to church Sunday.  We are thinking about you Tim and pray that God does a miracle in your life!

We Love you so much,

Pastor David & Pris
