The service will be a time of praising God s great redeeming love through song and prayer. It will also be a time of contemplation and prayer. At the end of the service, an opportunity will be offered for individuals to come to the altar for anointing and prayer. A person can seek healing for themselves or for others. Healing can be for physical injuries and illnesses, to mend or strengthen relationships, for peace and comfort from grief or anxiety, and for reconciliation with God.

P AGE 6 by Judy Callander SPECTRUM had a TERRIFIC turnout on Euchre Night in January, so we are doing it again on Friday, April 11. Please bring your favorite appetizer or dessert to share. Pizza and drinks will be provided. Gathering will start at 6:30pm with dinner and eurchre/games at 7pm. Please R S V P t o J u d y a t J u - dith.callander@sbcglobal.net by April 10 if you plan to attend. The 2014 Dr. Robert J. Fass Memorial AIDS Walk Central Ohio is Saturday, April 19 at 10:30AM. This inspiring event will be held at McFerson Commons in downtown Columbus. This year s walk represents the largest HIV/AIDS fundraising event in the Franklin County area. Please join us for the walk by signing up with the SPECTRUM-King Ave. United Methodist Church at aidswalkcentralohio.com and search for Spectrum. You can also visit our Spectrum Facebook page to register for the walk. While controversy surrounds sexuality education programs for youth, research shows that those who received comprehensive education are 50% less likely to acquire HIV and other Sexually Transmissible Infections (STIs) or become pregnant than those who only receive messages of abstinence-only. And the need to protect our Central Ohio youth is critical. Within the state of Ohio, one of the highest rates of new HIV infections is youth ages 13-24. Getting the word out that HIV still exists and there is assistance for those infected and affected by, or at risk of HIV/AIDS is the Walk's biggest goal. Our best chance to spread the word is through teamwork. Email blasts will be sent out in the coming weeks about MetroPark walks, new shirts, Pride Parade and The Gay Games. Please let Judy, Judith.callander@sbcglobal.net, know if you would like to start receiving emails from Spectrum. RUMMAGE SALE ALERT by Marge Horrocks lowship Hall at 9:15am and we close at noon.
