February 19th, 2010 | Posted in Blog | Comments OffGood morning,
Have you noticed the days getting longer? I know that February is usually very dreary, with short days. But Thursday I had to dig out my sunglasses in the afternoon!

Pastor David’s maternal grandmother passed away Thursday morning at 8:05 am. She had been failing in health for the past year and now is resting in Jesus. Her funeral will be next Friday – to give extended family enough time to be there in California. Pastor David and Tennille will be there next weekend to be with family. She’s resting in Jesus and we await the beauty of the resurrection.
Don’t forget that next week is the African-Caribean Sabbath. This is always a special celebration. Zo Mcunu is in charge of the potluck meal. The church family has been asked to bring more than usual to accomodate our guests. To sign up: Please contact coordinator Zo Mcunu (517) 420 8442 or via email zodwamcunu@aol.com.

Quote of the Week:
Look not to self, but to Christ. He who healed the sick and cast out demons when He walked among men is still the same mighty Redeemer. Then grasp His promises as leaves from the tree of life: “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37. As you come to Him, believe that He accepts you, because He has promised. You can never perish while you do this–never. {MH 65.3}
This Sabbath Pastor David will continue his series of message from the Sermon on the Mount. Join us for worship and fellowship!
See you Sabbath,
Mary
