Little is Much... Mask Ministry Update

Little is Much…….

The Mask Ministry is now entering its 5^th week of sewing with over 600+ masks completed and distributed to healthcare professionals, first responders, and families throughout our community and beyond. Six hundred……a number of quantification, an indicator of rise and fall, or a measure of success. The news media has reported that manufacturing companies have the capability to produce one million or more masks per week. In the shadow of that vast number, Satan whispers to us, “there is no need to try. Your contribution is too small to make a difference.” But God says, “little is much, when I am in it.” So on those long days and evenings when our fingers and hands are puffy, our shoulders are tight and our backs are aching, we reflect on the encouraging words of those who have already received our masks…..”each mask I give out may save a life”…….”your ministry is such a blessing to so many”…..”our nurses are eager to use your masks”….. and God smiles and says “well done, my good and faithful servant.” And that is enough, and we press on.

God's Perfect Timing by Janet Myers

How often have you said to someone “your timing is perfect?” In the last 6 weeks, I have experienced God’s perfect timing. During a dinner conversation at a Wednesday Night Fellowship Supper, a church member, who I will call Lydia, shared a touching story about a special gift she received some time back. While Lydia had every good intention of using this gift, time passed, it only collected dust and took up space. Lydia listened that night as I shared about my love for sewing and how I especially enjoyed applique and creative sewing projects. Several weeks later Lydia approached me with a wonderful surprise! She wanted me to have that special gift that she had spoken about at dinner one night. You guessed it! It's a sewing machine! Not just any sewing machine, but a machine that has all the bells and whistles that a seamstress dreams about! Little did I know that this sewing machine would later be the work horse that has enabled me to sew over 400 face masks for first respo

An Alabaster Jar Matthew 26.6-13

Jesus is about to pay for our sins and restore us to the Father. In the next several weeks there’s a turn towards the cross. Matthew 26 is days before the cross. The setting is Bethany. Jesus and His disciples spent time in Bethany. Several times per year Jerusalem would swell with people because of festivals and events. For example, at Jesus’ birth Jerusalem was full. This is the scene. Jerusalem is packed. Jesus had friends in Bethany, outside of Jerusalem. The home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus was located there. They are in a different house close by for the final preparation for the cross. Luke tells us this is the primary purpose of Jesus’ coming to this world. In Matthew 26 the opening verses are a powerful demonstration of what it means to value Jesus. How do we value Jesus? How do you know what something is worth? We can search online to get a feel for what something is worth. How do you value Jesus? Who is Jesus and what is He worth?
