6 Dear Holland Avenue Church Family, Thank you so much for all the calls, cards, visits, flowers, food you brought and your prayers at the time of my surgery and now during my recovery. Sincerely, Jeanette Derrick Dear Church Family, Thank you so much for your visits, phone calls, cards and flowers, but most of all for your prayers. Continue to remember me as I recuperate. God Bless, Frances Corder The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the LORD. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves. 2 Elisha replied to her, How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house? Your servant has nothing there at all, she said, except a small jar of olive oil. 3 Elisha said, Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don t ask for just a few. 4 Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side. 5 She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. 6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, Bring me another one. But he replied, There is not a jar left. Then the oil stopped flowing. 7 She went and told the man of God, and he said, Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left. God s provision was as large as their faith and willingness to obey. Beware of limiting God s blessings by a lack of faith and obedience. God is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine. Thursday, April 19 I will be leading a team of prayer walkers during WE CARE Weekend around our community. We will visit homes with firefighters as they install smoke detectors for those in need. We need prayer! And we need prayer walkers. Sign up soon!
