APS Baby Bottle Boomerang

APS Baby Bottle Boomerang

Our Eva Women’s Clinic offers free ultrasounds determining viable pregnancies and showing first images of new lives in the womb. Client advocates and nurses provide vital information and a listening heart to women considering abortion. With our new mobile ultrasound unit, we are reaching even more clients than before! 
APS ministers to moms and dads who seek support in their life choice — pregnancy education, parenting guidance, and even direction for a personal relationship with Christ. 
While all these services are free to our client families, they are not free for us to provide. This is where you come in! Your church helps provide these services by supporting the APS Baby Bottle Boomerang. 
Here’s what we’re asking you and your church to do. 
  1. Collect Loose Change: Fill APS baby bottles with loose change, and feel free to include checks or dollars as well! 
  2. Return the Bottles: Once the bottles are filled, return them to APS, and we will put the contributions to work saving lives in our community.

Remember Nhu
Our Remember Nhu court hearing, originally scheduled for Feb. 20, was delayed due to a power outage. It was then rescheduled for yesterday, but the judge was absent, so it has now been postponed again to Feb. 27. These kinds of delays are not uncommon in third-world countries, but we trust that God is still sovereign over all things. Please continue praying for His perfect timing and justice to prevail.

Vision Trip
This is an exciting opportunity for Living Vine. Would you please be in prayer concerning this trip and its outcome?  Would you please pray for the team as they discern if this is the right partnership for Living Vine?

What’s the most memorable riddle someone ever told you?  How long did it take you to figure it out? Everyone loves a good riddle. We love the thrill of figuring something out and unlocking the mystery.

Surprisingly, Jesus also spoke some ‘riddles’. We typically refer to them as parables. When asked why, He said there were “secrets of the Kingdom” that could be known. (Mt 13:11)

Starting March 16th, we journey through Jesus’ parables in Matthew 13 and attempt to understand the secrets of the Kingdom that He spoke about. Be sure to invite some friends to explore this with you.

Lent Devotional Plan
Lots of things in life require preparation--a vocation, a vacation, a home improvement project. Spiritually there are also ways for us to prepare our hearts and examine our lives. One of the ways Christians have done this is through the season of Lent. It’s a time of preparation and personal examination to more fully and deeply celebrate what Jesus has accomplished through His death on the cross, burial, and resurrection.

For Lent this year we have selected a reading plan through the YouVersion Bible App. Our hope is that you will join in with the whole church in reading and discussing the Scriptures found in this plan.  The plan begins on Ash Wednesday (March 5th).

This plan provides 40 days of scriptures to read and ponder as we prepare our hearts to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus. (Sundays are considered a "rest" day).  You are encouraged to share your thoughts and insights with the rest of the group in the plan.  

To join the plan, go to the YouVersion Bible app and make sure that Living Vine Community Church is on your "Friends" list.  If not, click "add friend" and search for Living Vine.  You will be invited to join the plan when it starts.

Want to see a preview of the reading plan? You can click the button below.

EASTER
When you think of Easter what comes to mind? For some it’s candy, eggs. bunnies. Reese’s!!!  For others it’s family, spring time, and the pre-summer planning. But when it comes to church, it’s the greatest day of celebration. Easter is all about celebrating the resurrection of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Easter Sunday is also one of the most attended Sundays every year. So while you make all of your Easter preparations, be sure to also invite those whom you know that would benefit from hearing the message of Jesus on this important Sunday.
This Easter we will be beginning a new series on the sermon on the mount called , “The day God talked about everything.” You won’t want to miss it.

Join a Rooted Group

 

“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers…and all who believed were together and had all things in common.”  (Acts 2:42, 44)

The believers of the early church were deeply connected to one another, to God and to their purpose as followers of Jesus.  Do you long for this type of connection?  Are you feeling a little stagnant in your spiritual growth?  How do we live like those early disciples in our modern lives?  Rooted groups are meant to help you practice the seven foundational rhythms of discipleship within a small group.  Being part of a Rooted group will help you deepen your connection to God, the Church, and your purpose.

Rooted groups will be starting in January. You can sign up for a group based on your availability.

Have you asked yourself the question “What’s going on at church?”  It’s easy in the flow of life to miss the announcements or to forget to read the church newsletter.  (Give yourself a high five today since you’re reading this newsletter! ).   But what if there was a way that you could get the church information that pertains directly to you?
