I believe that there’s great power in us seeking Divine Wisdom.  This wisdom usually comes to us in seed form and once we receive wisdom seeds we can plant them into the actions of our daily life and those seeds will guarantee us a future harvest.  The more and more wisdom we sow, the more and more blessings will flow into our future.  The story of the prodigal son is one where the son messed up because he did not recognize or appreciate his father’s blessing.  Luke 15:17-18 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!  I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son.”  But when he came to himself he humbled himself and spoke wisdom over his life and those wisdom seeds took root and moved him towards a better future.  Today we will all reap from the wisdom seeds that we have planted in our past and that’s why we should plant wisely into today for it will ensure us many great blessings in our tomorrow.  With that thought in mind let’s go forth into today using the seed from the fruit of the Holy Spirit to be a blessing to everyone we meet.

Last week the Family Skate was a great success as several people who didn’t go to any church said that they would like to check out our church.  God uses our acts of love towards others and our lifting high our Lord Jesus to draw all manner of men and women to Himself.

Tomorrow at 7 is our Youth Ministry at the church and they are gearing up for their Youth retreat in New Glasgow.  Friday March 16th, 17th, and 18th.  The cost is $50.00 for each person.  Pastor Mark needs to know if you are going by this Sunday.

Get ready, get ready, get ready it’s Family Sunday.  We start at 10:15 with food and fellowship followed by the morning service.  I will be sharing, "Good Friendships."  We likely all have a friend of two but do we they true friends or are they just people we know?  

Our Fellowship Wagon Ride is coming up on Saturday March 24th.  There are about 180 people signed up and the cost is 20 per adult, 15 per child, 15 per student or 50 per family.  If you haven't paid yet please have your money in by next Sunday. 

We are going to have a busy Easter Weekend; on Good Friday we will join with My Father's House Church in Glace Bay.  This is the new name for the former Bethel Family Church.  On Easter Saturday it's our annual Men's Breakfast.  Check with Martin for more details.

On Easter Sunday evening its our Water Baptism service.  @6pm we start off with fellowship followed by the service.  Once again we want to thank the Faith Baptist Church for loaning us their church building.  We already have many people who want to be baptized so let us know if you want to follow the scriptures in this area of your life. 

Continue to pray for all those in need and let’s believe God together for people to find salvation, healing, and wholeness in our service this Sunday.  Looking forward to seeing you soon, lots of love Pastor Kevin and Alice.
