2011 Newsletter

What an awesome end to 2011! After much prayer of 3 Godly ladies we saw what our God could do! We meet in October to set some plans into motion.
 In November we held our elections for new officers.  Then we set some new goals for our club. It has been great. The results has been a refreshing new
interest in EMSC . We look forward to our next meeting and setting some rides for 2012 as well as some ministry projects.

Lowry's Parade Dec 17th, 2011

EMSC was prepared with over 1000 Bibles to hand out at the parade.
We would like to send a special thanks to the York Gideon's for their help
in accomplishing this task. We couldn't have done it without you! We
continue to pray that the Bibles given today will touch lives!! That is
our mission to spread the gospel !
We were excited, yet humbled, to count 47 in our attendance.

 

We won the award for Best of the Parade but the best gift was being able to hand out Bibles.
Just got the total of Bibles handed out ..........drum roll.....761 BIBLES
<<< God is GOOD!! >>>  WOW God doesn't give a little!
It was a very Blessed day for our club!!


 We see God at work around us!!!

Planted by Water By Glynnis Whitwer 

He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:8 (NIV)         

Devotion:

A little girl came running into the kitchen saying that the flowers needed watering. Without waiting for any help, She grabbed a cooking pot, filled it with water and ran back outside. Curious, her mother followed to see which flowers worried her.

She walked outside to see the little girl knelt beside an iris, carefully scooping water into her cupped hands and pouring it over the flowers. Over and over she poured water over a wilting blossom. The child knew the flowers needed nutrition, she knew they needed water, and she was trying to help them in the most obvious way.

I know what it’s like to try and water something from the outside. I’ve tried to nourish my faith that way. I’ve done it by quickly reading a Bible passage without applying it to my life. I’ve sung the worship songs while planning lunch. And I’ve heard a sermon and thought it applied to someone else. I’ve also prayed on the run without spending time in quiet contemplation. Yes, I know what it’s like to try and nurture something from the outside. It doesn’t work very well.

It’s at those times of shallow watering that my spiritual roots curl their toes and shrink from healthy growth. Jeremiah 17:8 speaks of a completely different type of watering and growth … the kind that’s deep and rich: “He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."

This passage depicts a tree that is “planted” by water so its roots grow deep and strong. Planted. What a concept. The only way to get roots that are deep is to stay planted by water. This Scripture invites me to place my trust in God, and inspires me to plant myself in His Word so that its truths wash over and through me. I’m drawn to rest in God’s presence while my soul is given refreshment. My heart is called to be open to God’s love as it fills me to overflowing. When my spiritual growth is healthy, I don’t have to worry about outside pressures.  

A sprinkle of water didn’t help the flowers, despite the childs good intentions. Those flowers needed to drink deeply from within. Just like them, we need to be planted by and drink deeply of God’s living water so our spiritual roots grow deep and strong.

Dear Lord, I thank You for your overflowing love that reaches deep in to my soul and waters my thirst for You. Help me to be planted in Your Word and to spend more time in Your presence in prayer. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 

Identify one thing you can do this week to deepen your spiritual roots.  

Reflections: 

Why is it sometimes difficult to go deeper into the things of God?

If spending time in prayer is a challenge for you, consider the reasons why. 

How can you tell if your spiritual roots are receiving enough water? 

Power Verses:

Romans 1:25, “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator – who is forever praised. Amen.” (NIV)

Psalm 42:1, “As the deer pants for streams of water so my soul pants for you, O God.” (NIV)

1 John 1:6, “If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.” (NIV)
