4 Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord! Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore! Psalm 113:1, 2 WELCOME: A sincere welcome to everyone worshipping here today in Spirit and in Truth. May Almighty God grant His power to protect us from evil. May the Everlasting Father strengthen you in this season of Lent for your journey across life s fleeting pages. We invite you to join us after the morning worship service for refreshments and a time of fellowship. Children aged 3-5 meet your teacher in the foyer during the offering this morning for Children s Church. ABOUT OUR MESSAGES Today, we continue answering questions submitted by the congregation. This morning, 2 Corinthians 11:1-15 helps answer How Does the Devil Work? This evening, we investigate one of the greatest weapons against Satan, as Psalm 63 answers the question, What is So Good About Prayer? In two weeks, we will begin a new morning sermon series: Life in Exile a journey through the Old Testament book of Daniel. Pastoral Note Pastor Drew will be gone from this Thursday until next Wednesday. Please contact your elder if a spiritual need arises! Next Sunday, we will be welcoming Rev. Arlin Vande Zande in the morning and Pastor Gary Mulder in the evening to fill the pulpit.

5 PRAYERS AND PRAISES Please be praying for Roland Bultsma, who suffered a broken ankle in the past few weeks. Various complications have led to little healing and almost no mobility, and so ask God to provide Roland patience and wisdom in determining treatments going forward. Resplandor DiVida We want to thank everyone who donated socks, hats, sweatshirts and money for the sweatshirts and supplies for the colonia. It was really fun seeing the kids wear their sweatshirts (some all week long)! We really appreciated your prayers for safe travels and a productive week serving the Children s Home and Desert Farm Colonia.
