Sandi's Corner

Dear Friends,

As we continue learning and listen to people through our Lent series this week we are going to hear from Nicodemus!   You can read about Nicodemus beginning in John 3:1-21.

This was a busy week reaching out to people in our community. A big thank you to everyone who helped with Haiti dresses and shorts, served and or cooked for Grandma's kitchen and served, cooked, cleaned and spent time building relationships with 14 kids on Monday and Tuesday.

In peace,
Sandi


PS Each video will be shared in the next newsletter.

Note from Dale Bliss


Dear Bluff Point Family,

Words are not sufficient to express my gratitude for all of the calls, visits, cards and prayers I have received since my accident and broken hip. When I am starting to feel down and sorry for myself all of your concern and care has shown through and became a bright spot in my days.

According to the surgeon, I broke the hip joint and needed a full replacement (the hardest and most painful). This has been completed and now I have to wait a total of six weeks before more than partial weight can be applied. I am waiting and counting the days until my sentence is reduced.

I haven’t been able to get a lot accomplished until now.  The pain killers make it hard to focus or even read. I hope the next three weeks will be better.

Thanks again for the encouraging calls, cards and prayers. It would have been very long and dreary without them.

Thank you so much for answering God's call to feed the hungry.
Many of you have asked for the address of Robin DeSantis in order to send her cards after the loss of her husband, Jim. Some of you will know Robin from when she joins us in worship to share her music ministry.

Robin DeSantis

Jesus, You told Your followers, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in Me as well. . . . Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives” (John 14:1, 27, NIV). I need Your peace. I need “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding” to guard my heart and mind (Philippians 4:7, NIV). I need peaceful sleep. I ask for peaceful thoughts and emotions to rule my days and nights. Amen.
