Please help

us to organize:

1. Every member should have a mailbox. Please make sure you have a

mailbox. Also, please check it monthly and discard unwanted items, there

is a recycle bin below the mailboxes for your use.

2. There is a directory kept in the lobby below the family calendar. Please

look for your name and confirm that the data is correct. New updated

directories will be printed soon, so get your input in quickly.

3. There is a coat rack in the lobby with jackets on it. We plan to donate

all coats to the clothing drive that are left more than one week. Behind

the Bread for the Family there is a small rack with Lost and Found items,

please check there if you have misplaced anything.

Thank you, all corrections and comments can go into my box.

A theme verse for this year’s event

is Romans 15:6. Romans 15:5-6

reads, "May the God who gives

endurance and encouragement give

you a spirit of unity among your-

selves as you follow Christ Jesus, so

that with one heart and mouth you

may glorify the God and Father of

our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Look for a poster on the “spin

tower” in the foyer for further

information.

-------

As I consider the verses from

Romans, I consider another theme

in addition to united prayer.

God gives us endurance and en-

couragement. I am thankful that he

provides those resources to us.

There are moments when challeng-

es of the day or week can tempt us

to give up the race or simply go

The first Thursday of May is set

aside as the “National Day of

Prayer.” I have participated in the

local event several times and al-

ways been glad that I did. I know

that several of you have also

taken part in that prayer time.

Thursday, May 1, the gathering

will occur downtown on the lawn

of the Benton County Courthouse.

It begins at noon or shortly

thereafter and lasts about an

hour. It is always fine to come late

or leave early. Many people do

that in order to fit their work

schedules.

is wonderful that God “shows up”

through changes in circumstances

or a brother/sister saying “Yes” to

an important request. Not only does

it bring encouragement, it grows our

sense of unity.

Never underestimate the power of

your words and actions.

I had a great week this week. On Monday I went with Darren Williamson one of the CITE board members to Boise State University to check out their biblical studies program. I was encouraged by what we have been able to do here at UCC and excited about ways that we can get more students involved and how we can get the word out about this great program. If you know of anyone who would benefit from taking a Bible course, let me know or go to our website osucc.com and click on the link for CITE. If you want to take a class at a specific time let me know so we can try to schedule one that fits your schedule. We are also looking forward to the induction of student leaders for next year. We are ex-cited about what God is going to do through the UCC and Circle as we work together to grow disciples and live as kingdom people. One more thing, you are invited to come to the UCC on Tuesday at 7pm to hear Jose Reyes share about "Time and the Cosmos - A Source of Hope."
