This Sunday May 19th, I will start a two week series on money. This summer we are offering the Financial Peace University. I would like to see many from Cedarcreek take this opportunity and attend. Financial faithfulness is a key topic in the Word of God. There are over 800 verses directly related to money and finances. This week I will talk about why God wants us to manage our finances well. Next week, I will share on why you should want to manage your finances well. Money is something we deal with every day. God’s word gives practical guidance and help on finances which benefits our lives in many ways. The way in which we use money in our lives needs constant evaluation and review if we are serious about being Christ’s disciple. I hope that you will join us!

Worship songs for Sunday:
You Never Let Go
House Of God Forever
Christ is Risen
I Will Follow (Tomlin)

Remember next weekend in the Memorial Day holiday! We go to one service at 10am. To celebrate the start of the summer season, we will have a Sundae Sunday. Build your own custom sundae on delicious Culver’s custard.

I want to thank Pam Berg and all the women who put together the “Inspire” Women’s Conference this weekend. We want to be a church that supports and develops mother’s to do their indispensable job of raising-up the next generation. I thought the following story below was very cute and am passing it on to you for your heart this Mother’s Day.

Magnet
A teacher gave her class of second graders a lesson on the magnet and what it does.
The next day in a written test, she included this question:
“My full name has six letters. The first one is M. I am strong and attractive. I pick up things. What am I?”
“When the test papers were turned in, the teacher was astonished to find that almost 50 percent of the students answered the question with the word “Mother.”

This Sunday May 12th, we will honor moms. Rob will give a short devotional. We will do something unusual in that we will have an open sharing time where anyone can give a short testimony (Please hold it to under 1 minute) of what their mother has meant to them. So if there is something you would like to say, come prepared!

Worship songs for Sunday:
Who Am I
At The Cross
Surrender
Cornerstone
How Great Is Your Love

Greetings:

In a few short weeks, school will be over for many students and the summer season will be on us. It is hard to say that because with the recent cold weather it seems as though spring just got started. We are planning a summer long teaching series entitled, “Summer of Love”. We will be going through the qualities of love in I Corinthians 13. But before then, there are many good events coming up in the church calendar such as the “Inspire” conference for moms on May 10th & 11th. We will also have an Orientation Class on Saturday May 18th from 9am to noon. If you have never attended, plan on this time around!

This Sunday April 28th at both 9am and 10:45am, Rob will be teaching on the topic of hope. We don’t talk a lot about hope as an essential quality of the Christian but Paul considered it one of the big three along with love and faith. Rob says that hope is unseen and unknown but not uncertain. He will show us how hope builds patience and perseverance into our lives.

You can listen to the following worship songs to prepare your heart for Sunday:

I Delight In You (The Villagechurch)
Burn
Starry Night
Desert Song
Till I See You
