We will be starting a new study on Tuesday evenings and have decided to read “Run with the Horses” by Eugene Peterson(translator of The Message Bible). Peterson is an author, seminary professor and pastor. Wonderful writer!
“Run with the Horses” uses the story of Jeremiah, in the Old Testament, to help us to ponder living life at its best. Peterson asks, “We all long to live life at its best-to fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. Why then do we often find our lives so humdrum, so unadventuresome, so routine? Or else so frantic, so full of activity, but still devoid of fulfillment? How do we learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence — to run with the horses in the midst of life?”
Thanks to everyone who donated money for UMCOR relief in Haiti. We have delivered over 75 medical kits as well as cash donations. We will keep you posted on other ways to assist the earthquake victims.

To My Church Family,
Your check for my Holy Land Trip went in the mail this morning…my passport is current ….a guidebook sits on my bedside table. I can’t begin to thank you enough for your generosity in making this possible for me. I had really given up on dreams of ever seeing Jerusalem, figuring my exotic travel days were behind me. Just shows that where bighearted people of God get with Him on a plan that surprises are always possible. Promise to bring amazing memories back to share with you all——serving Christ together at Shiloh.

ON Thursday, April 9th, we will observe Maundy Thursday with an evening Seder and Communion Dinner, beginning at 7:00 pm. This evening is wonderful for all ages as we gather around tables and remember God’s mighty acts of deliverance for Israel in the context of Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples. Moe details to follow, but be sure to save this evening during Holy Week.
