Sunday
School 9:30 a.m.
Worship Service 10:40 a.m.
February 26, 2012
God told Noah that He would never flood the earth again, and the rainbow
would forever be the sign of His promise.
Have you ever made a promise? To yourself or someone else? Those pesky “New
Year’s Resolutions” are a form of a promise to yourself. Lose weight.
Exercise more. Organize more. Clean more. Whatever. Too often we do not
really follow through on those promises to ourselves. How about your
promises to others? Maybe we need to have a beautiful rainbow as a sign of
our promise being completed. Wouldn’t we be healthier if we DID lose those
“extra” pounds or exercise more? Pulling those old clothes from the bag you
forgot to take to Goodwill, and being able to wear that favorite pair of
jeans again, couldn’t that be a “rainbow”? God made many promises to many
people as told by the Bible. He didn’t always promise a rainbow or sign for
those promises, but He did live up to His end of the promise. Abraham,
Moses, David and so many more. Even the promise He has made to you. So far
He’s honored that one, too. But wait! There’s more…Join us Sunday as we
explore some promises, I promise!

MEAT CANNING PROJECT:
On April 10th five members will help the Southern and
Atlantic Districts can chicken for persons in needy areas.
We will leave at 3:00 a.m. to begin work at 6:00 a.m. at a Mennonite
facility near Ephrata, PA. This
is a great opportunity to help many persons while enjoying meeting COB
members from other congregations.
This project does have many expenses for chicken, cans, use of
canning facility and shipping.
If you would like to support this worthy project, you may place noted
contributions in our offering plate.
Thank you for your interest and generosity.
