Many will be reading this electronically on
Friday. For those people, I encourage you
to lift up the youth retreat in your prayers
today. Please pray for safety and the
development and growth of relationships
both physically and spiritually. Pray that
Gary
every single person on the retreat leaves
Hale
closer to each other and even more
Congregational
Life Minister
importantly closer to God and Jesus
Christ! For those reading this on Sunday, please pray for a strong finish to the retreat and a safe
trip home later today.
Just the words “Youth Retreat” brings back more memories
than my small brain can process. Youth retreats are a short
version of camp and crucial to the physical and spiritual
growth of a youth group. I hold in high honor, not only Jon
and Kristi, but all the adults who will make the retreat not
only successful but even possible!

I know we were all blessed by Dan’s series on the Ten
Commandments. I heard so many positive comments. Dan
did a tremendous job of going beyond the obvious to
challenge us on what it really means to keep the Ten
Commandments. Can you even imagine a world where
everyone was trying their very best to keep the Ten
Commandments? The changes in our world would be
beyond our imagination!
I can already tell from this week’s lesson guide that the new
study from Colossians is going to be both inspiring and
challenging. I pray we will all listen with open hearts and
minds and apply the great truths of God’s word!

You Are The Song That I Sing #990
Closing Prayer
If you are new to Rural Hill, you may not realize that the
downstairs space was the auditorium for the church for many
years until the current auditorium was built on top of it. The
way the downstairs space is now configured is very similar to
what it was many years ago.
If not for the language barrier, we would all meet together for
worship every week instead of quarterly. But as long as the
language is a barrier this is a good arrangement. I’m thankful
that the Rural Hill church is made up of different races, cultures and ethnic groups. It reminds me of Paul’s words that
there is neither male nor female, neither Jew nor Greek,
neither bond or free, but we are all one in Christ. It also
reminds me of the song, “Jesus Loves the Little Children,”
which says, “Red and yellow, black, brown, white, they are
precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the
world.”
From Wilfredo: Three of us adults took 11 Hispanic Church Youth to a bi-lingual meeting in
Collinsville, Alabama April 11. Attendance was about 110 teens who came from Chattanooga and
around Alabama. It was a great blessing!

This is another historic day in the life of
the Rural Hill church. Today we officially
celebrate with our Hispanic brothers and
sisters the opening of their new worship
space. For years they met in a classroom.
When they outgrew that, they began
Dan
meeting in one side of the fellowship hall.
Dozier
Even with the moveable partitions to
Pulpit
Minister
create a sense of space, it was a less than
ideal situation. With continued growth, it
was obvious they needed a better solution. Now that the
downstairs has been completely renovated to accommodate
their worship needs, they have a space that is theirs—and it’s
beautiful. Today we get to see it and share their joy.
Que duermas bien. Por eso me acuesto y duermo en paz, porque sólo tú, Señor, me haces vivir confiado. Salmo 4:8
Wilfredo
Salvatierra
¿Logras dormir bien? Esperemos que sí, pues cuando no tenemos una buena noche de sueño todo nuestro día
queda comprometido. Sin embargo, muchas son las personas que pierden el sueño por causa de las
Hispanic
preocupaciones, problemas fisicos y emocionales. No logran liberarse de los problemas que tienen, y así no
Minister
logran conciliar el sueño.Y si no nos damos cuenta pasamos la cuenta de los problemas a nuestro cuerpo afecta
nuestra vida espiritual. ¿Qué hacer? Una solución es hablar de tus problemas, compartirlos con alguien que te ayude y te escuche
con palabras de bendición conforme la escritura. Dios está siempre dispuesto a oírte. Ábrele tu corazón.
Él se preocupa por ti. Acuérdate de Jesucristo. Él fue enviado por Dios para solucionar un gran problema: la muerte eterna.
Jesús dio su vida para que tú puedas tener vida eterna. Dios te ama. Por lo tanto, confía en él y tendrás una paz y una seguridad
que te ayudarán a vivir más tranquilo y a poder descansar y necesitas confiar en Dios. Ora y dejale a el todas tus cargas. Ora a Dios
y espera en El.

gone into the renovation of this area. Refreshments will be
served and you will have the opportunity for a “walk through.”

and acknowledging those who helped. (Adult classes will not
meet. Children will be in their regular classes.
