“You make known to me the path of LIFE; in your presence there is fullness of JOY; at your right hand are PLEASURES forevermore.”

–Psalm 16:11 In my early adolescence, for some reason, I thought of God as a brake not an accelerator. He was the one who would try to stop me from experiencing a full life and keep me from having fun. In my mind, he was the moral policeman out to catch me and judge me for doing wrong. I never thought of God as the One whose presence leads to fullness of joy and eternal pleasures.

The way I was living then led to many dead ends. But Christ rescued me and now I have tasted the joy for myself! This month is a month of joy in our church with weddings, babies being born, new believers baptized, spring break and mission trips! But among the happiest of events is EASTER! Let’s start praying expectantly now for Easter weekend, March 26-27, and what promises to be one of the most wonderful Easter celebrations in all our church’s 90 years!

SERVING GOD Outside Our Walls

Two Christ Journey youth teams are preparing to serve the Lord over spring break on missions. Our middle schoolers, led by Caleb Lopez and Evan Rees, two of our youth dads, will go to the island of Grand Bahamas to serve with new and beautifying church grounds along with after school VBS for young children with these newly-vetted Bahamian partners.

Our high school Nicaragua team is “sold out” with more than 20 serving on this mission. They are faithfully preparing with leaders Cory Williams, Althea Harris and Aaron Goldenberg to serve alongside long-time missionaries Chris and

Blessings, for our leaders and youth as they Go Global.
