On
March 7th, four of the Guiding Force
members took part in the 30-hour famine.
These four individuals were Meredy Brichford,
Michelle King, Ian Thomas, and Alan Thomas. They
raised money for the World Vision Organization to
stop world hunger. Good work and God Bless.
On March 9th
Guiding Force held their annual ASP auction.
This event is the number one contributor for funds
for the annual mission that we partake in every year
to Appalachia. We again will be leaving early on
June 15, Father’s Day Sunday. By the end of the
event we raised a total of $4,375, which
means that we should be all set for funds as we see
it. We would like to thank the congregation for all
of their blessings and support.
Another big thank you is extended to Mr. Bob Rehn, experienced
auctioneer and a new enterprising auctioneer, Mr.
Mark Phillips for doing such a good job at
keeping track of all those bids.
We
appreciate all those that rose early to attend the
Sunrise Service at 7:30 a.m. Easter Morning.
We hope you were blessed by our service and the
special candle presentation of the Lord’s Prayer.
We would like to give our kudos to the Methodist Men
for handling the wonderful breakfast after the
service.
Be sure to make
your reservations for Cruise Night on
April 12, 2008 on the USS Holy Spirit and his
crew from the Guiding Force and Disciple Puppet
Ministry. See the front page of the GT for more
information.

Guiding Force
Anchor’s Away!
Captain Mark Phillips
requests your presence on April 12, 2008 at
5:00 p.m. when the ocean liner, the USS Holy Spirit
will set sail from Wesley Hall.
The
Captain has studied his ADF, Navigational charts and
barometer to assure a course
that won’t run aground but be smooth sailing all the
way.
It
is very important that you reserve your space on the USS
Holy Spirit as soon as possible, because, there is
limited seating.
The
services of the best pasta chefs, entertainers, child
care and game handlers within the Guiding Force,
Disciple Puppet Ministry and Adult Youth Leaders
guarantee that this evening will not end up adrift.
There will be a prayer and toast promptly at 5:00 p.m.
dinner to be served immediately following. After dinner
there will be entertainment for all and then our Child
Care experts will take the little folks to the Disciple
Deck for play and craft time. The adults will then
participate in fun games, but we will not give away the
Captain’s ideas. Please see your church bulletins for
reservations forms.
Captain Phillips requests only a free will offering be
given and all profits will be given to the Guiding Force
and Disciple Puppet Ministries.
Bon Voyage!
