Like I said, we have tried very hard not to exclude anyone. So please let us know if we have!<\/p>\n

I thought I would let you in early on something OVCF is going to be involved in.\u00a0 You might remember the food giveaway at the Middle School that had traffic backed up onto the highway. There is going to be another Outreach Event which will involve much more than food.\u00a0 Clothing, feminine hygiene products, and shoes will be given away as well. An organization out of Indy by the name of Servant\u2019s Heart is partnering with the Spencer community to make this possible. Aaron LaGrange, principal at OVMS, has been the one to spearhead it. It is scheduled for Saturday, June 19th<\/sup> from 9-3:00 at the OVMS and OVHS parking lots. We will not have to provide any items for the giveaway. What will be needed is people willing to \u201cman\u201d the tents where the items will be available. It will be split into shifts so no one is there all day (unless you want to be).\u00a0 At this point they are talking about 7-9:00 for set up; 9-12:00 for the first shift; 12-3:00 for the second shift; and 3-5:00 for the tear down. There is another information\/planning meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 25th<\/sup>. \u00a0I will have more concrete plans for you after that meeting. \u00a0I just want to give you a heads up so you might consider where and when you can help.\u00a0 For years we did the Day of Service (DoS) but due to COVID, and possibly it running its course, we have not had a DoS for two years.\u00a0 This will be a great way for us to be involved in our community again! It is time for things to happen and for us to be actively involved in some way. Think about it\u2026please.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Here is another friendly reminder about the 5th<\/sup> Sunday coming up, May 30th<\/sup>.\u00a0 We will be inviting the young people to worship with us that morning. The nursery will be open for any who need it (but not \u201cmanned\u201d). Ryan and I will be sharing the \u201cpreaching time\u201d in order to just talk with you.\u00a0 Look for a different approach that morning!\u00a0 I think you will like it. \u00a0The Grand Opening for the nursery is planned for June 6th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Your help is needed for that ministry.\u00a0 Contact Ryan if you would like to help in the nursery rotation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Ladies, don\u2019t forget your hike this Saturday at MCSP. Plan to meet at Deer Run\/Trail 9 at 1:00.\u00a0 Please call Gail Kempe (765-346-0492) if you have any questions.<\/p>\n

In my journey through the NT, I cracked open the book of Ephesians this week.\u00a0 In 1:15-23 Paul prays a powerful prayer.\u00a0 I\u2019d like to break that prayer down a bit.<\/p>\n
\n- He thanks God continually for them (the Ephesians).<\/li>\n
- He prays for them to be given spiritual wisdom and insight so they may grow.<\/li>\n
- He prays their hearts will be flooded with light (enlightened) so they can understand the hope they have been given.<\/li>\n
- He prays they will understand the greatness of God\u2019s power seen in raising Jesus from the dead and that He is seated at God\u2019s right hand.<\/li>\n
- He prays they will understand God\u2019s authority in all creation, especially His church.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
His concern is more than \u201cGod bless them\u201d or \u201cGod be with them.\u201d To run the race and finish well we have to go deeper.\u00a0 It starts with praying for others and for yourself.\u00a0 Let\u2019s all make a commitment to do so.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hope you have a great week. Love you all.<\/p>\n
