Notes from Sunday Worship, March 22, 2015:

Worship came in different forms this Sunday morning. The overall theme of Faith came from Him Whom we believe in and Whom we seek. First, Karen gave a testimony on her intentional seeking of her Faith. She stated that she is amazed how much her Faith in Jesus has grown because she is seeking His hope for her. She is hoping she will have Faith that amazes Jesus and that she is hoping God keeps His promises just like found in the Bible. Our hope comes from God. She followed her words with a song "Keep Making Me" with its message of asking God to keep helping us to follow Him. Holly then brought her song "What Faith Can Do" which also fit in with Karen's message of seeking Faith and finding it. Pastor Todd's message also spoke about Miracles that come our way. He presented the song "We Won't Be Shaken." Sometimes Miracles come when it  does not add up that they could happen. It is just not humanly possible for there to be a Miracle. BUT with our trust in God, Miracles can happen if we keep our Faith in God. He will do the impossible. For miracles to come: 1. We need to hear His message. 2. We need to seek Jesus. 3. We have to pray regularly. The morning service closed with many prayers being spoken around the Altar and with hands-on support of loved ones. Faith was exhibited in the outpouring of concern and love.
A Note by this blogger:

Hopefully there will now be regular postings for Mount Hebron Weslyan Church. The writer is now home and hopefully the technology grinch will cooperate in the months to come. Spring is coming, Easter is soon to be here, and God's blessings are all around us. Florida does not have Spring come like it does in the mountains. Here it has been lovely to see the spring flowers, blooming trees and the show of greening on the shrubs and trees. 

Announcements:

Mark and his band of workers have cleaned out trees, etc. along the driveway. We thank them that when we come into the back parking lot and Fellowship Hall there is now a nicer open view. 

Wednesday Night Bible Study is continuing on "Living the Christian Life."  The Book of James provided some insight into living one's faith. This is an ongoing study so please plan to attend.
