17Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. 18For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. 19Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. 20But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. 21He will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself. 4:1Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.

ONE WEEK NOTICE NEEDED: If you are planning an event or a meeting and want to announce it in the bulletin, be sure to contact the church office at least one week before the date of the event or the meeting.

It is not necessary to give notices for any recurring monthly and bi-monthly events and meetings, unless there are changes. THE UPPER ROOM daily devotional guides for March - April, 2010 are available in the narthex and by the side entrance of the church.

Thank you so much for the flowers you have placed on the altar in honor of my birthday last Sunday. In addition to flowers, I have received so many wonderful cards and phone calls from many caring folks. I am deeply touched and feel loved. I am truly blessed to have such great church family and friends.

In Christ Love, Margaret Scholz

Dear friends, How can I ever thank you for your love, concerns & prayers, and even a hair cut and flowers. I am over the pneumonia, but my blood sugar is not under control. So I will be here for a while. I do miss all of you.

Love, Rosalind
