Life can bring many ups and downs! There are times when the unexpected erupts, and our plans are abruptly changed. We all cope differently with our difficulties. Here are a few observations when you are disappointed:

1. Disappointments are only delays! Who says every setback must be final?

2. Disappointments are instructional. Valuable lessons freely flow our way when plans are postponed.

3. Disappointments are preventives. When a setback occurs, it’s good to take a brief moment to analyze the reason for it.

4. Disappointments are motivators. It shakes our lives until there is aroused in us an eager desire to spring out of our apathy.

Please remember: Some of our greatest moments can be times when you’re forced out of that rut because of a turn of events. When you are forced to adjust your plans, begin to look to God for a fresh idea and He will show you a better day!

I want to remind everyone that Celebrate Recovery meets every Thursday evening, beginning with a snack at 5:45 p.m., with worship at 6:00 p.m., and groups start at 7:00 p.m. The Solid Rock Cafe’ meets at 8:00 p.m.

This ministry is available to anyone struggling with a hurt, a habit or a hang-up. By the way, that is all of us! CR also deals with chemical addictions, plus many other issues. This ministry is about healing in Christ’s name. It’s not about judging. I want to encourage you to step out of your “hidden world” and try CR. It could be the best thing you ever do!

This past Sunday, May 10th, was a great day as we opened up our new Children’s Worship Center. It is going to be a wonderful addition to our ministry for children. This facility will be used a great deal this summer. Your child is going to love it. There are more updates coming in our children’s ministry area. We love kids!!!!

Don’t miss Night of Worship this Wednesday, May 13th at 6:00 p.m. Jeff Palmer, and members from the Progressive Worship Team will lead us in a special night of worship and praise. Invite someone to come along.

God is doing a great work around here. Lives are being touched and transformed in Christ’s name. Hope to see you soon.
