ANNOUNCEMENTSNEW WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY: Beginning Monday Evening, March 12, at 6:30 PM, Melissa Nelson will be leading the Bible study “A Love Worth Giving”, by Max Lucado. All ladies are invited to join her for this opportunity to study His word. In this study you will discover the depth and marvel of God’s love for you. He boldly says that before we can pass love on, we must receive it ourselves—from God. Pointing out that we must “love one another,” Lucado issues an impassioned plea to accept God’s love in order to truly, unselfishly, wholeheartedly love another. SUNDAY SCHOOL THIS WEEK: Today, the Sunday School classes learned about Jesus’ miracle of feeding 5,000 hungry people (John 6:1–14). They learned that in His love, God promises to care for all our physical and spiritual needs and gives us the greatest treasure—His Son and the gifts of forgiveness, life, and salvation. As a family, talk about the many ways that God has provided for both your physical and spiritual needs. In the catechism, look at the explanation to the First Article of the Apostles’ Creed.
