Ladies’ Prayer Retreat
WMU: Do you remember your first love? Oh, the excitement and thrill that you felt. You wanted it to last forever. Then time passes, and the feelings change. Your heart is broken, or you just lose interest in each other. However, there is one Love that will last eternally. That is the Lover of my soul, Jesus. His love for me was written in red on Calvary’s Cross (John 3:16). Christ’s love will never fail you. He is the Lover of my soul (1 Cor. 13). Happy Valentine’s Day. Rita I can’t believe it is already February. This month we are having our Women’s Prayer Retreat on Saturday the 16th. The theme of the retreat will be “No Matter What”. Our guest speaker will be Staci Mann. Come to be blessed. It will be held 9:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m. at the Lee Conference Center. Lunch will be served. Looking forward to seeing you WMU women. God Bless You.

From Carl’s Desk:The month of February has the 14th- “Valentine Emphasis” in the middle of the 28 day month. The focus of Valentine’s Day is recognition of (Eros) Love. But various definitions of the word LOVE exist.In the Gospel of John, the word LOVE is used 57 times- Love, Loved, Lovedst, Lovest, Loveth. In the 57 verses using love, Jesus is speaking in 38 of the verses. In Chapter 15, Jesus used a form of the word Love 10 times, the most in any of the 21 chapters. He expressed God’s love and His Love for mankind strongly through His Word!Do you really Understand and Believe- You Are Loved!
