"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

-Mahatma Ghandi.

Now he was a world-changer.

No violence necessary, just a conviction and love for people.

One man. One action. Remembered forever.


April is going to be about being a world changer.
How can you change the world?
One step at a time.

We have the choice to love or not love everyday, every minute even.
There are people in this world who chose love when they didn't have to.
Ghandi. Martin Luther King. Mother Teresa.
John Newton (the slave ship owner turned preacher who wrote Amazing Grace).
Dick Hoyt (a man who helped his immobile son compete in amazing athletic events).
Etc.

It doesn't take being a saint to be a world changer. I bet there have been people who have made such a difference in your life that they have changed your world. If not, maybe there will be.
Through the death of Jesus, he took our sin and gave us the opportunity to be world changers.

He allowed us to forget our past mistakes, our regrets, and our barriers
and make a choice to love. To be made clean. To go forward.

How many world-changers do you know?
Would you like to be one?



If you would like to change our world, join us at 9:00 am on Sunday mornings in the SonShine room at the back of the Sanctuary for meaningful fellowship and worship.


Grace and Peace,

Virginia Yates
