Friends,

Happy Belated Mother’s Day! I hope you moms had a great day yesterday and didn’t have to cook since all sit down restaurants were closed.

Ad Council is meeting tonight to discuss the details of re-opening. Would you pray that we’d have wisdom? If you have input, email me today, especially parents of children. I would like to know how you feel about your children being in Sunday School or Junior Church. We will keep you informed.

As restrictions are lifting, has the Lord been speaking about giving of yourself with real life situations? Circlesashland.org is an effective ministry to families committed to walking out of the cycle of poverty. Current volunteer needs are tutoring for school age children, allies for families, and to cook a meal once a week. Contact coach@circlesashland.org

I will be preaching on the fruit of the Spirit Sunday, this time on patience, the one we all need! James Merritt’s teaching on Tasty on RightNow Media is excellent. He says every time you get impatient you are really being impatient with God because God caused the problem or allowed it. And, it is great to wait knowing God is never late.

1. Problems will try your patience
2. People will test your patience
3. Persistence will toughen your patience.

I pray you have a blessed week walking closely with your God.

Pastor Ed
