April 6, 2011
This morning the sun is shining through the windows, my husband is making maple syrup and we saw a robin. It is the kind of day that makes everything else seem easier.
At Chetwynd Community Church, we are enjoying our new pastor, Aaron and his musically gifted wife, Jennifer. We are also getting ready for a number of activities.
On April 24th, we will be celebrating Resurrection (Easter) Sunday. This is the day we acknowledge and rejoice in our Lord Jesus' defeat over death.
On June 4th, we will be hosting a luncheon for ladies in the community
As you are aware, we are in the middle of an election. Like you, I hate hearing all the nasty comments, accusations and other diatribe. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all the candidates followed the advice given in Proverbs.
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. Proverbs 16: 24

March 25/11
The older I get, the harder it is to remember what day of the week it is. Sunday and Monday are the only ones I can remember. Sunday because of church and Monday is my quilt group day.
Sunday has become 'just another day' to the majority of people in our culture but I can remember when if you didn't go to church, you were the odd person. Now, of course, church goers are considered strange.
This week at Chetwynd we will have our regular service at 10.45. Everyone is enjoying our new pastor's messages. They are challenging but not given in a manner where a person feels they are being chastized. We are also enjoying the addition of Aaron's wife, Jennifer, to our music ministry.
If you don't have a home church, come and receive a blessing.
For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. Eph. 1:4

We are well into the month of March and, although spring officially arrives a week tomorrow, it still looks very much like winter outside.
Chetwynd officially welcomed Aaron as the new pastor last week. The congregation has been praying, faithfully, for over a year and God has heard and answered. Aaron plans to visit each individual and family member.
This morning there has been continuing news of an earthquake and the resulting tsanamis in the eastern part of the world. The west coast of British Columbia is expected to be affected. The Bible predicts that there will be continued weather and man made disasters and it is easy to become afraid. However, if we remember that God is in control of everything, it is He who created the world and all that is in it, we can be at peace.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God; in him will I trust. Ps. 91: 2

Today is the World Day of Prayer and people all over the world are getting together to pray for the country of Chile. It is only one day of the year but still good that this event does focus people on the need to pray.
This Sunday, Aaron officially starts as our new pastor. This too is an answer to prayer.
The members of Chetwynd have been faithful in prayer and trusting God to answer. And He has.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Phil. 4:6

Happy Valentine's in advance. On Sunday we will be gathering at nine a.m. for a continental breakfast. The men will be serving and the women will visit with each other.
On the 27th, Aaron Oliveri will be taking over as interum paster after an unanimous decision by the church board and members.
Devotional
The most romantic book in the Bible is the Songs of Songs. While it extolls the love between a man and a woman, the greatest love of all is the Heavenly Father's for us.
You have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes. Song of Songs 4:9

Another month is almost over and its passing marks another year well started.
There will be a business meeting following the service and a light lunch this Sunday. Members will be asked to made a decision regarding an interim pastor.
Our sympathies go to Bill and Lorna on the loss of his brother.
DEVOTIONAL
In this life, we must deal with many heartaches. Loved ones die, many of them after years of suffering and others at a very young age. Friends hurt us, financial hardships lead to difficult decisions that affect our lives, and natural disasters can take away all that we have. This life is not easy nor does the Bible promise it would be but we do have the assurance that our Heavenly Father will always be with us. We also have the promise that our eternal life with him will be heavenly.
I will never leave you nor forsake you. Hebrews 13: 5
