A Happy “Almost-St. Paddy’s-Day” to you, my friends,
Let me begin this week’s issue of News & Notes with some words from one of the founding pastors of Willow Creek Church, outside Chicago:
“So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!” (2 Corinthians 5:17 […]

ROCYM served Shepard’s Pie to 66 guests at the Dover Friendly Kitchen tonight and is now looking ahead to our 50’s Night on April 14.

Reminder to all youth that we are serving dinner at the Dover Friendly Kitchen on Tuesday, 3/13.

Expectations sometimes lead to judgements about whether or not we’re valuable or lovable.
“But I’m not worthy of God’s love; I know what I’m really like.”
Then comes that call to repentance, to return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on them.
Why? Because he will abundantly pardon.
Why are we loved?
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, my ways are not your ways, says the Lord.”
Why? Just because that’s who God is.
Knowing that we are loved by God, and receiving that love of God,
leads us to want to lift up praise and
want to be in the presence of God to offer our thanksgiving.
We are lovable. We are loved, by the grace of God.

Greetings, my Sisters and Brothers,

I want to begin by thanking all who have helped […]

The youth will divide their talents this week as some choose to sing their praises and others prepare a meal for the Friendly Kitchen in Dover.
