UPDATE THURSDAY, 4/25/13 AT 12:40 PM FOR THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER BREAKFAST

 

  Thanks to Don & Wanda Turnure for the final food item for our prayer breakfast!!

 

You all are awesome "givers"!!!

 

******There IS one more way you could help with the prayer breakfast.  The paper products (tablecloths/napkins/cups/plates) cost about $35.  If you would want to give individual donations of $1 - $5 - or whatever, to offset that expense for the church,  that would be great too. 

 

 

GREETINGS ALL YOU St. John's C.H.U.R.C.H. Ministry go-getters!!!!!!!!!!

 

On Thursday, May 2, 2013 we are hosting a National Day of Prayer observance like we did the past 3 years.  We are serving a continental breakfast in the church overflow area from 6:30 AM - 7:00 AM. 

 

At 7:00 AM Pastor Klaustermeier will begin a prayer and devotion time in our sanctuary with music by Barb Dreyer.

 

You all have another opportunity to help out by donating the items for the breakfast.  We did have a pretty good turnout last year; but we never really know how many to expect.  I believe the following list should be plenty to serve the folks who come that morning.  Hopefully, some of our Little Lambs and their parents will be able to attend before school begins.

 

 

 

Please have your donated items to church

ON Wed. May 1, 2013 for maximum freshness

(Refrigerated items can be put in the refrigerators in the church kitchen - the others on the island in the church kitchen)

 

Items should be plainly marked

"FOR NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER BREAKFAST"

So as not to get mixed with Ladies Aid Luncheon, Craft & Bake Sale Items

 

IMPORTANT:  Please respond by emailing Sandy Robine at snsrobine@centurytel.net

and let her know what item you will donate and how much of that item or if you have any questions!

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY & HELP EACH YEAR!!!!!

DEVOTION:  Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. James 1:19-20

No matter what you might think, this devotion is not about two teenagers.

The first teenager is Anne Frank. As most of you know, she was a Jewish girl who spent two years hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam. Eventually, she and her family were found, arrested and, with the exception of her father, died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. It was only after her father returned to their hiding place that he found his daughter's diary. The book has touched millions and today, Anne Frank's hiding place has become a museum.

The second teenager's life is, in many ways, the opposite of Anne Frank's. This teenage boy is 19-year-old rock star and heartthrob Justin Bieber. Unlike Frank whose life was hidden, everything Bieber does is reported, discussed, analyzed and paraded before his fans and the public,

including his recent visit to the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam;

including what he wrote in the museum's guest book.

At the end of his time at the museum, Bieber penned the idea that he hoped if Anne Frank had been alive she "would have been a Belieber." No, that's not a misspelling on my part. Bieber's fans are called Beliebers."

But this devotion is not about two teenagers. It's about how people have responded to what Justin Bieber wrote at the museum.

Some people were slightly upset with the young man, while others were outraged, scandalized, horrified, disgusted, disappointed, dismayed and appalled. The common thinking was what an ego! How dare he think of himself at such a time and place?

That's the way most people felt -- most -- but not everybody.

A spokeswoman for the museum, a Ms. Mostart, defended Mr. Bieber. She told the BBC, "He's 19. It's a crazy life he's living. He didn't mean bad ... and also it's nice that he made the effort, he didn't have to come."

I don't know if Ms. Mostart is a Christian, but she sure was following James' advice about being quick to hear and slow to speak out in anger. As Luther said, she had put the "best construction on everything."

Over the years I've found that some sins are easier to deal with than others. For me (and for many), saying things about others in the kindest way does not come easily. Without waiting to investigate the facts, without giving the benefit of the doubt, without ever bothering to consider if I have anything positive to say, my tongue gets engaged, and I start spewing out seemingly endless streams of critical commentary.

That is hardly the kind of thing that benefits my neighbor or gives glory to my Redeemer.

This is why I would encourage you -- you who probably no longer are a teenager -- to use your tongue to honor the Redeemer on Monday through Saturday as wonderfully well as you do on Sunday. I know I'll try too.

THE PRAYER: Dear Lord, through the week may the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be acceptable to You. In Jesus I ask it. Amen.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
WEDNESDAY'S QUIZ: In Psalm 95, what do Meribah and Massah mean? 

The place where Moses brought water out of the rock of Horeb, he named Massah and Meribah.  Because the Israelites quarreled and tested the Lord.  (Good job Pam!)

PRAYERS FOR OUR SERVICEMEN

I have been compiling a list of servicemen who are members of St John's so that we can pray for them.  Below is a list of them and where they are currently stationed.  Please note that their stationing changes quickly, so this may not even be up to date, but it is the last known whereabouts that I have of these guys. 
 
Danny Dreyer-  Army- 2nd Lieutenant- graduating from Ranger school Today.
 
Sam Hargrove- Army- 2 Lieutenant- Ft Rucker, Alabama, will be going through helicopter flight school and other training
 
David Mincemeyer- Army- Army Specialist- Ft. Carson, CO
 
Jon Rahn- Navy- Hawaii, not sure of his rank at this time
 
David Tate- Air Force- 2nd Lieutenant- Kirtland AF Base, Albuquerque, NM
 
Alex Walters- Navy- E4- Guam
 
Ryan Woolf- Air Force- Airman 1st Class- Buckley Air Force Base, near Denver, CO
 
 
If there are more out there that I just don't know about, please let me know, and I will include him/her on the list.
 
Also, if you would like your family member or friend included in this list, please reply to this email with all the information!
 
 
Pray for these guys.  Some of these guys are in harm's way right now, others are training to put themselves in harm's way.  All of them have volunteered to serve and protect their country (which is you).
