Church News and Events
By Mark Brown
Hey Vernonia,
Please allow me to say Happy
Mother’s Day, and thank you for your
love. Although you will be reading this
as a belated recognition--it is written the
day of.
I remember when the idea of a
Christian News article first came to be.
You may have gathered I’m a big sup-
porter of not just unity within the indi-
vidual churches but in a larger sense of
the meaning. I am not suggesting
that the churches do not get along, so
please do not read that into this. I be-
lieve each church is trying to be obe-
dient to God and have impact into our
community that will have eternal impact
on people’s lives; Go is the answer to the
question(s)!= I thank each of you.
I will continue to pray and work
to that end with the hope we will be
more visible in our community as “The
Church”--meeting you where you are!
Working side by side to change lives and
develop relationships with no expecta-
tions other than to the best of our ability,
love you with the hope that you are able
to see past us and see Jesus.
I know many times you can see
through this, it is not because we desire
to be seen as Un-Christian and be la-
beled hypocrites. I do not want to miss-
represent Jesus, but I do at times; I am
sure of that. If I have, I am asking now
for your forgiveness. I would never with
intent or malice do so.
It was the hope of the creator of
this to bring you news within the faith
based Christ following community to
the community at large. As a person
who is deeply involved with one of the

behavior I will call “thinking errors.”
For each of these “thinking errors” re-
garding the four goals of misbehavior
does have a flip side - a positive belief
that can be developed to lead to better
behavior. We will address this next time.
Senior Center Activities

cation.
