Dear Friends,

Ray Stevens, the comical country singer who sang songs you'd probably rather forget, had a number one hit song that was not a joke. "Everything is beautiful" was quite a strong reaction to all the struggles that led up to 1970's in this country. As the song starts, children in the background sing "Jesus Loves the Little Children." Later in the song, he sings this:

     Don't worry about what shows from without
     But the love that lives within
     And we're gonna get old again now
     Everything is gonna work out fine
     Just take a little time to look on the good side my friend
     And straighten it out in your mind
     And everything is beautiful in its own way

Paul said this to the church in Philippi:
Philippians 4:6-7
     6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Let us put away all of our anxiety and trust that God has a plan and we are in it.

Peace,
     Ron

Greetings, Geneva!

As we continue our Lenten season, our music department is actively preparing for Holy Week! Yesterday evening, our Chancel Choir began rehearsing three beloved pieces for our Maundy Thursday service. Come experience this most meaningful service on April 2nd at 7pm. This is perhaps my most favorite service of the year! We have multiple soloists offering heartfelt pieces, including Wayne Letizia and Teresa Sink, as well as the esteemed St. Johns Quintet.

This morning, the Joyful Ringers and I rehearsed this Sunday's offertory, "How Great Thou Art." It's a beautiful arrangement, and I hope you will all be blessed by this Sunday's worship service!

Blessings,
     Megan Rodriguez
