VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL 2013

WAYS TO MINISTER TO OTHERS
Your old eyeglasses (especially ones for reading) are needed for various mission points.
We are still collecting cartridges from Inkjets and Faxes to help with the support of the children who reside at the Shulz-Lewis Children’s Home in Valparaiso, Indiana.
We are continuing to collect the fronts of used greeting cards. (No Christmas Cards, please.)
“Box Tops for Education” and “Campbell’s Labels for Education” are needed by Mid-Western Children’s Home.
If you want to help with any of these ongoing ministries, please bring the items and place them in the appropriate containers on the table in the hallway.
GOD’S GIRLS’ YOUTH RALLY
The 8th Annual Youth Rally for girls, Grades 6-College, at the Holiday Park church of Christ in Pittsburgh will be April 20, 9:45 a.m.-5:45 p.m. (See the Bulletin board across from Brad’s office for more details.)
JUNIOR YOUTH RALLY

IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
Many people think it doesn’t matter what you believe, but this notion contains a very low view of truth. The Lord wants us to know the truth and to love the truth. In next week’s presentation, “But He Lied,” Phil Sanders will emphasize the need for truth and integrity, especially in studying the Word. The program can be seen on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7., every Sunday at 7:30 a.m.
