Church tradition reports the following: 1. John died of extreme old age in Ephesus. 2. Judas Iscariot, after betraying his Lord, hanged himself. 3. Peter was crucified, head downward, during the persecution of Nero. 4. Andrew died on a cross at Patrae in Achia, a Grecian Colony. 5. James, the younger brother of Jesus, was thrown from a pinnacle of the temple and then beaten to death with a club. 6. Bartholomew was flayed alive in Albanapolis, Armenia. 7. James, the elder son of Zebedee, was beheaded at Jerusalem. 8. Thomas, the doubter, was run through the body with a lance at Cromandel, in the East Indies. 9. Phillip was hanged against a pillar at Heropolis, a city in Phrygia in Asia Minor. 10. Matthew was slain by the sword in Ethiopia, Abyssia. 11. Thaddeus was shot to death by arrows. 12. Simon died on a cross in Persia (now Iran). Our Lord doesn t ask modern day disciples to die for Him - only to be willing to live for Him. What price are you willing to pay for your discipleship all because of the power of the Resurrection in those folks lives! Easter people are willing to do ANYTHING so that the Good News of Jesus may be told, enacted, & lived!!!

Well...our bells are in need! Would you be willing to "adopt a bell"? Twenty dollars per bell will help get these guys in tip top shape! We need approximately 60 adoptions to happen...feel free to adopt more than one. Perhaps your organization would adopt a few bells...

GENERAL UMW MEETING APRIL 19 The general UMW meeting at Tabernacle will be Sunday, April 19 at 2:30 in the fellowship hall. There will be a speaker from Freedom House. Studies show that substance abuse treatment is much more effective for mothers when the family unit stays together; however, only less than 5% of all treatment programs accept mothers and children together. Freedom House in Greensboro provides single mothers and their children with shelter, education, transportation, food, clothing and Christian substance abuse counsel as they move through their recovery program. We are collecting items for Freedom House and ask you to donate by bringing items to the meeting or we will also have a box set up in the commons area. Items in bold are items needed more often.

All women of the church are invited to the meeting to learn about this recovery program in Greensboro. ADULT FELLOWSHIP CASWELL COUNTY TOUR SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 23 RD This trip is a repeat of a trip we made in 2013. It was a very enjoyable and informative trip and many have asked for a second time around. Caswell, the second wealthiest county in North Carolina prior to the Civil War, today is one of the poorest. Many of the homes of the Boom Era (1850s) still stand, some beautifully restored, some vine covered and crumbling. Jack Wagstaff, a native of this area, will be our tour guide. We will visit Rock of Ages Winery in neighboring Person County and have an early lunch nearby at the Flat River Cafe. The restaurant is unique; it is in an adjoining room to a country store that has a wonderful meat department. The food is excellent five star. There was a lengthy article in Our State several years ago praising the food and unique setting. After lunch, we will drive directly to Leasburg, which is in Caswell County. It is a neat village with several nice homes from the 1800s. The first president of Greensboro College was from Leasburg, and his home still stands. From Leasburg, we will travel to Milton, then Yanceyville, making a number of stops to see and hear stories of the past. Departure Time from the church will be 9:30 a.m. Return to the church late afternoon. Bus fare will be collected the day of the trip. Bring cash for lunch and shopping. Please make your reservation by Monday, April 20th by calling Gaynell Faulk at 336-674-5028 or emailing gfaulk2@triad.rr.com.

We know God's truth that He is always with us, He gives us strength in all things. God has blessed you with things much more powerful than the things we can see and touch to guide us in life. Rather than maps we have His HOLY WORD to help stay on course. Instead of a radio to communicate with those on shore we have PRAYER to communicate with God. Like a radar we have the HOLY SPIRIT to guide us. All proceeds from the lunch donations go to the Christian Life Center. Thank you in advance for your support of our children's music program!
