“The Truth About….”
The Truth About Communication…
Or “There’s a Name for That”
Romans 12:1-13
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing
to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.
2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you
will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather
think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
4 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,
5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to
his faith.
7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;
8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is
leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.
11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
13 Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

for the inmates during the week. There is also a need for recreation equipment. The need is for new or very good
condition items such as soccer balls, basketballs, footballs, basketball nets, volleyballs, volleyball net, softball gloves
and board games. If you have any of these items that you would be willing to donate, call the church office at 407-6445222 or you can leave them in the church workroom.
RED BAG MINISTRY: You may bring items for the pantry at any time. Help us keep our children from going hungry.
Remember to pick up a RED BAG on the third Sunday and return it on the fourth Sunday filled with the items
requested on the attached list. Please remember…NO GLASS CONTAINERS, NO EXTRA LARGE BOXES. THERE
IS A GREAT NEED now for extra cereal and extra fruit. For the rest of May, if you could double just one of the items
on the list that would help a great deal. They hope to stockpile this summer and be ready for the new school year.
Also, there has been a splitting bag problem and they have found that the bags that Aldi sells for 10 cents are very
durable and last a lot longer. If anyone shops at Aldi and could buy some additional bags, that would be a true
blessing. Thank you to everyone who continues to support this ministry.
