DECLARING OUR FAITH: Forgiveness
Leader: “Come now, let us reason together,”
Says the Lord
Everyone: “Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be white as snow:
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.”
Leader: If we walk in the light as He is in the light,
We shall have fellowship with one another,
And the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all
sin.
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,
And the truth is not in us.
Everyone: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just
To forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.

volunteering your time to help out in the nursery in 2010. It would be very helpful if you
have a child in nursery, if you would give one Sunday to help out. If you

Helping Hands Yearly Feinstein Challenge: From March 1st through
April 30th, the Fight Against Hunger movement, sponsored by the
noted philanthropist, Alan Feinstein, is offering their yearly challenge. During
these two months only, any monetary and/or food donations ($1 credit for each
can or package of food) made to Helping Hands will be totaled and the amount
reported to the Feinstein Foundation in order to qualify Helping Hands for a
portion of the one million dollars that has been set aside to match funds. The
amount Helping Hands receives will be its portion when all the qualifying food
pantries in the United States have submitted their donation amounts. The
more Helping Hands collects, the larger the percentage they will receive. Donations
may be mailed to Helping Hands, P.O. Box 532, Howard City, MI 49329. (If a
receipt is needed, a request, including name and address, must accompany
checks.) The
goal is to collect as much as possible during the above time
frame so that Helping Hands will receive a greater amount of the one
million dollars.
