We all know habits are hard to change, but each year it’s a tradition on January 1 to try to do something differently. Our intentions are heart-felt. We’ve thought through what we want. We’re motivated by our suffering or our desire to be better in some way. Why do we fail to fulfill our resolutions? One rea-son is that we don’t give them tender loving care. When we buy a plant, we water it and put it in the proper sunlight. So far so

good. The plant does well for a while and so do we. Then what hap-pens? The plant and our conviction start to wilt. Life and other pri-orities get in the way. But don’t give up. Meditate on the re-sistance along with the desire to change, ac-cepting both. I’ve found that the dissonance will begin to fade, and sometimes it disap-pears completely. Meditate every night on what you might want

to change and have that one thing be some-thing that will grow your relationship with God. Do not get frustrated if you ‘mess up’ here and there. Each night check your progress and re-member, Tomorrow is a New Day, A New Chance!!! May God Bless You in 2016!!!

Blessings,

Rev. April

A Cowboy Goes to A Cowboy Goes to A Cowboy Goes to A Cowboy Goes to

ChurchChurchChurchChurch

One Sunday a cowboy went to church. When he entered, he saw that he and the preacher were the only ones present. The preacher asked the cowboy if he wanted him to go ahead and preach. The cowboy said, 'I'm not too smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I'd

feed him.'

So the minister began his sermon. One hour passed, then two hours, then two-and-a-half hours. The preacher finally finished and came down to ask the cowboy how he liked the

sermon.

The cowboy answered slowly, 'Well, I'm not very smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I sure wouldn't feed him all the hay.'

WHEN: April 1st—3rd, 2016 WHO: Jr. & Sr. High Youth This trip will include a concert on Friday, services and devotional times on Saturday and Sunday. Youth will be allowed ample free time for rides and games. Total costs will be $35.00 for each youth member, $20.00 for the activities and $15.00 for lodging. A portion of this expense will need to be provided by those attending. Youth will be responsible for food and snacks. Two evening dinners will be provided. This will be a lasting memory for our youth, bringing them closer to God and to one another in friendship, having fun while learning about God. Please call Demian Wegehaupt @ 620-212-6755 with any questions you might have. ADULT / PARENT SPONSORS NEEDED! Parents are encouraged to come to as many youth events as they would like. Your involvement with their discovery of their faith in Christ is more and more important as the world gets more turbulent.

The Armor of God A 7-Session Video Driven Women’s Study for Small Groups

All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you-unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny. The Enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for more than merely a biblical believer’s inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.
