Isn't Ohio weather a great example of how insignificant we are and how great God is? I pray, I shout, I plead with the heavens and yet, only God knows what the morning is going to bring! Will it snow? Will it rain? Will the sun come out and warm this place up? Who knows! But lucky for us, God is good and has everything under control.
Thanks to everyone who came out to worship with us in the library this last weekend. It was cozy, the Word was brought, and the coffee was still hot, so I'd count it a success! This weekend we'll be back in the Little Theater at 11 AM and looking at what God has for us in Luke 15:8-10. "The Parable of the Lost Coin" is relatively short, but is packed full of instruction for us who claim to follow Christ. Do we value the lost like God values the lost? Do we value them like the woman in the parable values her lost coin? If we don't, we need to! Christ's gives us practical steps to finding the lost in these few verses and that's what we'll be looking at this weekend. See you there!
Now that small groups are underway, I'd like to hear how they're going. If you have a story that you can share from your small group that you think would encourage others in their journey with God, send them to me at jared@newhopeashland.com. Stay tuned for details on the next KIA event for NHA coming up in March! And finally, the baptism service for this Sunday has been postponed. Instead of moving from the high school to the Ashland University Rec Center this Sunday, we'll just stay at the high school for regular Sunday worship. Continue praying about being baptised if haven't already and just let me know when you're ready to take that next step!
May the Lord bless you and keep you this week, NHA!
