Everyone is invited. Bring a friend. We will be discussing The Shack based on the book by William P. Young. The Shack wrestles with the question: Where is God in a world filled with unspeakable pain?

Opportunities to Give and to Serve:

* On the first Sunday of each month we have communion. On those Sundays, consider bringing non-perishable items to share with Manna Food Pantry. There is a bin for donations in the narthex.

* It is time to make coconut and peanut butter eggs! Easter egg making is a long-standing tradition of Paxton church. It is fun – a great way to interact with people. It also helps support the church financially. See Bill Toner to volunteer or to purchase eggs.

* Pastor Gary would like to have special music during the worship service. If you have vocal of instrumental skills, please share them with the church!

* Check out the details of the PUMC Transportation Ministry ~ for Rides to Worship ~ and the PUMC Medical Equipment Sharing Ministry. Whether you are in need of one of these services, or can provide assistance, you will find a blessing in participating!

* Consider a special contribution to Paxton’s Capital Campaign – help keep our building safe, snug, and beautiful.

* Do you have a talent or skill you want to use for God, but don’t know where to begin? Talk to Pastor Gary or any member of the Leadership Team today! We want to help you find a way to grow and share God’s Love.

I am no longer my own, but thine.

Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.

Put me to doing, put me to suffering.

Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee.

Let me be full, let me be empty.

Let me have all things, let me have nothing.

I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal.

And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.

– The Wesley Covenant Prayer
