Wake up Grumping or Wake up Rocking?

Check out how this little boy wakes up from sleeping in the back seat.

Are you someone who wakes up with a smile or someone people should avoid until you've had your morning coffee?  It's funny how our circumstances impact our emotions and how each person deals with those emotions in different ways.
The question is: what is the best way to handle our emotions? If we allow our emotions to dictate what we believe and how we act, we're going to run into trouble.  God's Word provides plenty of examples of individuals dealing with their emotions and not all of them result in positive outcomes.
As we continue our "Free Way" series, we're going to address how we can make sure that our emotions are not in control of us and keeping us from experiencing the abundant life that Jesus promises to his followers. I hope you'll be able to join us this coming Sunday, March 6th.

Communion and Crisis Fund Offering this Sunday

Our church crisis fund was established in order for us to be able to help people within our congregation and community who find themselves in need.  Each year we've been able to distribute thousands of dollars to assist in paying bills and meet other unexpected challenges. The crisis fund depends primarily on special contributions from members of our congregation with only a small part coming from our general fund.
This Sunday we'll have baskets out following the service for the Crisis Fund. Please consider making a special contribution. You can write a check with a note designating it to the crisis fund and drop it by the church or place it into the offering.  You can also give online by following this link and designating "Crisis Fund" in the giving type. Thanks for helping us to help those in need.
