Isaiah 40:31 “…but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;…”
Issue No. 22 February 27, 2020
Lent, a very meaningful time of the church year, began yesterday with Ash Wednesday. We now have entered the forty days of Lent, culminating in Holy Week and the greatest celebration, Resurrection Day, which is another name used for Easter. We don’t usually say Resurrection Day because we, as Christians, know that there is the day coming when Jesus will return to give all believers, dead and alive, new glorious bodies to live in the new heaven and new earth forever. This is also referred to as Resurrection Day or Judgment Day. May these days of Lent be a time where you know for certain that Jesus is your Savior and if you don’t, to talk to a Christian, who can share the good news of salvation.
Thank you, again, Kondybko family!!!! Mrs. Kondybko handed me an envelope with $87.00 in it. Yes!!
$87.00 from the plastic bottles you’ve brought in!! Obviously, I’m going to say, “Keep them coming!” and “Thank you, everyone.”

Chapel
Chapel offerings for this quarter are going to help the people of Puerto Rico. At the end of the quarter we will send the monies collected to the Gandara’s Center, where it will be used directly to help the people of Puerto Rico. The following is from the agency called Gandara Center:
Gándara’s Emergency Help Drive for Puerto Rico is now a Statewide Effort
The earthquake on January 7th killed at least one person, injured at least nine others, collapsed buildings, and has caused a power outage that has left thousands in Puerto Rico without electricity or drinking water. With the recovery from Hurricane Maria in 2017 still ongoing, relief efforts have taken on even greater importance. Even the smallest donation will make an immediate impact!
