Sunday, March 14, 2010 Announcements
THIS WEEK’S PRAYER FOCUS: Please be in prayer for the people of Chile, Turkey, and Haiti who are recovering from recent earthquakes in their regions. Please pray that relief efforts, particularly those of evangelical Christian organizations, will be effective in providing those in need with the food, shelter, and medical needs they are lacking. Pray that Christ will be made known through the work that missionaries are doing in his name in these regions.
SCRIPTURE MEMORY FOR MARCH 14Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrew 4:14-16
