Thoughts to Ponder
For those who have faith in Jesus Christ, forgiveness has been promised. We are assured of His grace and mercy, knowing that no person can be found righteous on their own merit. Instead, we must each rely completely on the work of Christ on the cross. But so often we take that for granted. “Act now and ask forgiveness later” is our strategy for getting what we want out of life. But when we betray God on purpose, relying on His forgiveness later, we cheapen His tremendous sacrifice. Remember what He’s done for you this Easter season, and remind yourself that the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life.

An Open House Shower & Fundraiser will be held on Sunday, April 17th from at Legion Hall in Claremont for the Pahl family. As you may remember they lost their home and all belongings in a fire on March 19th. Thank you in advance for your participation and generosity in helping the family get on their feet.
Anyone wishing to bring an Easter Lily, daffodils or tulips to enhance our worship area on Easter Sunday is encouraged to do so. The more flowers we have the better. If you would like to give them in honor/memory of someone, let Pastor Nancy know by April 18th and it will be included in the bulletin. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
On Sunday, April 10th a special offering will be received to support One Great Hour of Sharing. Proceeds enable UMCOR to continue their relief efforts around the world when disasters strike. Prayerfully consider how God is asking you to respond.
Pastor is looking for volunteers to attend the School of Ministry in Bismarck , ND on May 2-4th. The topic is on worship planning and on how we can encourage an increase in worship attendance. The speakers are from the Church of the Resurrection. Please contact Pastor Nancy if you are interested in attending with her. Registration deadline is April 17th.
Plans are in progress for the beginning of the Britton, Claremont , Hecla Parish beginning July 1, 2011 . Bishop Kiesey and the cabinet made the decision final after meetings with representatives from the three churches. Now begins the planning of the different issues that will make this flow smoothly. Recommendations have been suggested and will be further discussed as representatives meet again in the future to begin the process of writing a document of agreement. Any suggestions/ideas from the congregation are welcomed. Please contact Roy Pulfrey, Lorrie Sanderson, Daryl Lloyd or Pastor Nancy by May 1st with your suggestions/comments, etc. A list of the recommendations discussed so far, as well as additional topics to be discussed/determined, will be available within the next week. The goal is to have the document completed and approved by Administrative Council’s in June.
