This month the youth group will be collecting bottles of laundry detergent for the Rockwood Area School District Student Resource Room. For those who do not know, there is a washer and dryer on site at the school. This allows students to have access to clean clothing and for donated items to be washed before students receive them. Detergent can be any size or brand, but would ask that it is fragrance free so any student can use it. There will be a marked box near the coat rack for detergent donations. Thank you for supporting the students in our local community!

Actions of a Healthy Disciple
Generosity
March 9, 2025
Phil. 2: 1 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death — even death on a cross!
2 Cor 9: 6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.” 10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. 12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.

REFLECTION
Has your understanding of generosity expanded through the word today? Where are you on a scale of 1-10 with generosity? 1 being I am not generous at all to 10 being I am generous everyday.
What do you hear God saying about your generosity in your life?
Regardless of where you are now on that 1-10 scale, how will you move the needle more toward 10?
Nurseries
- There is an unstaffed nursery for babies located on the same floor as the sanctuary that may be used at any time.
- There is an unstaffed nursery for children up through the age of 3 located downstairs in room 1.
- Both nurseries have a closed-circuit TV through which you can watch the worship service.
Jr. Church (10:30 Morning Worship Service)
