E-Flash Awesome Quote:
“For we are God’s workmanship . . .” Ephesians 2:10(a)
“The word ‘workmanship’ comes from the Greek word poiema,
from which we get the word ‘poem’. So we can say that God
creates each of us as a piece of art, as a piece of poetry. Every
one of us is a poem that God writes, something that He has
created to be of use for the mission He has given us.”

Dear E-Flash Friends;
Thought it might be a good idea to remind you that this weekend we “spring ahead” one hour. The change to Daylight Saving Time always seems to slip past a few folks every year. When that happens they show up at 12 o’clock for the 11 o’clock service on Sunday. I have this idea that, one spring—on Daylight Saving Time weekend—we should all hide at 11:55. And when the people who forgot about the time change show up at noon, we jump out of the shadows and shout “Boo!” really loud. Then we simply walk out of the building with no further comment.
I haven’t implemented the idea, yet, because it feels like it still needs a little more refining. Anyhow, until that idea pans out, here’s your reminder: Don’t forget to set your clocks ahead, one hour, this Saturday, March 8th.
I also want to remind you that Easter is coming in just a few weeks. These are always powerful and awesome services—services of victory and joy and celebration! I’m getting excited just thinking about it. Aren’t you? We will have three Easter services, one on Saturday evening (March 22) at 5 pm and two on Sunday morning (March 23) at 9 and 11 am. I’m so fired up that I’m going to try to rearrange my schedule so that I can be at all three services. (Don’t analyze that last sentence too carefully.)
We want to make a little extra room at the 11 o’clock, Sunday morning Easter service, because that is the most well attended time and it is the most likely time that new guests to our church will show up. So, if it is possible, would you consider attending the 9 am Sunday morning service or the 5 pm Saturday service? I know that won’t fit into everybody’s plans and, that’s okay if it doesn’t. But if 9 am, Easter Sunday, or 5 pm Saturday won’t be a bother for you, that would help us provide space for the extra visitors. Thanks so much, you guys are always gracious and accommodating. There are folks who don’t go to church very often, or perhaps “ever” who will come on Easter and we want them to have a seat and be able to hear the life-changing message of the RISEN and Living, Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! The greatest message of HOPE in the world.
One more thing: I’m asking each of us to think of one person for whom we could pray, every day, between now and Easter. Is there one person for whom you could pray and invite to our Easter service? If we will all pray and all invite, I believe God might do something really great. To Him be the glory!
