Good Morning
Yesterday was a special day at Mt. Olive. Our students lead us in worship and sang three songs. At the end of the service another student joined the church and will be baptized next Sunday.
Remember in your prayers Dale and Chad as they serve the Lord this week in Peru.
Next Sunday we have our monthly night service with baptisms and dinner. Make plans to be part of it at 6pm.
God has given us this week to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. I'm praying for you. Let's do this.

Monday Meditation
I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. - Philippians 4:13
“Christ gives us power to persevere.” These words have been written on the chalkboard in my family’s kitchen since January 2003. At the time, I was in the habit of writing The Upper Room’s “Thought for the Day” on the chalkboard so that the whole family could meditate on it during the day. However, a family crisis occurred around the time I wrote, “Christ gives us power to persevere,” and the saying has remained on our chalkboard ever since. These words have reminded us to rely on Christ’s strength again and again.
The Bible tells us that God alone is the source of our strength (Ps. 18:1; 28:7) and that we gain strength by waiting upon the Lord (Isa. 40:31). The apostle Paul learned this lesson through his “thorn in the flesh” (2 Cor. 12:7). We too can learn from difficult experiences.
Our chalkboard reminder that God through Christ empowers us to endure has seen our family through my grandma’s decade-long illness, a family friend’s suicide, my dad’s cancer diagnosis, and the deaths of my grandma and dad. In the years since then, these words have been a daily comfort to my mom and me. Rather than being a thought for a single day, the promise of Christ’s strength can be an encouraging reminder for us each and every day.
And as always, your pastor is praying for you.Connect
