I hope you survived April Fools' Day without any embarrassment! If you're like me, you might feel like this world is so upside down a little foolishness is hard to appreciate. But perhaps a little mirth and silliness is good for the soul. I have plenty of experiences (and so do many of you) when we find ourselves laughing together. In Christ we can only take things so seriously, because we know at the end of each day God is ultimately our Lord and in charge of our salvation. Thanks be to God!
I am attaching this past Sunday's message as well as the previous one. As you know, I was out of town for a few days' vacation. That's why you didn't get a weekly email last week.
I'm home in Tucumcari and refreshed! Here's what's going on in our church this week and next:
Today, Tuesday: Yoga at noon in Fellowship Hall

I'm calling on all who enjoy reading, welcoming visitors and playing/singing music during these special days. If you enjoy these forms of service to God, please let me know and I'll give you a role.
This Sunday is Communion Sunday. Dr. Jean is our Communion Deacon.
Do you have questions about being a member of the church? Here's a short program about our denomination's perspectives on grace, sin, and our roles as disciples. http://www.theocademy.com/lessons-for-new-members This can also be found on YouTube. If you are contemplating becoming an Elder or Deacon one day, you might find your questions answered here: http://www.theocademy.com/lessons-for-ruling-elders-and-deacons Of course, you can always ask me yourself!
I hope you go out and make this a great day! Let the world know God loves them.
Blessings and Peace.
Rev. Amy
