Dawn Baria passed away during the early hours this morning.  I think the arrangements will probably be completed at some point today.  I have left a message with Bobby and will no doubt here from him or his parents once the arrangements are finalized.  Pray for Bobby and the entire Baria family.

Phillip and Lisa Osterkamp are our neighbors.  Phillip’s father passed away and the funeral service takes place today, 3/9, at 3:00PM from More Life Church.  Pray for the Osterkamp family.

The auction takes place tonight beginning at 6:00PM in the CAB.  All proceeds help purchase ministry supplies for the GRACE trip being led by Bro. Jerry this July.

Spring forward, spring forward, spring forward!  Please do not forget to set your clock forward one hour tonight before going to bed!

We are on a regular schedule tomorrow.  Lord willing, I will be in the pulpit for both morning services.  Hope to see many of you there.

Freddie and I had a really good day of visiting family members yesterday and we also made a quick trip up to the Holland area.  Perhaps our greatest ministry was to a young girl who was celebrating her birthday yesterday but her parents selfishly decided to go out of town for some “us” time.  The young girl, pretty much through her tears, thanked me for being her “dad” on this most important day in her life.  Plus, they basically had left her with no food so she had gotten a guy to take her to the store to buy some groceries.  Did I mention that she was physically sick the day her parents left and they knew this as well?  Wow!

I pray that you will have a great Saturday with Jesus.
