    Zephaniah 3:  Jerusalem will be told: "Don't be afraid. Dear Zion, don't despair. Your God is present among you, a strong Warrior there to save you.

    Philippians 4:  Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

    Luke 3 But John intervened: "I'm baptizing you here in the river. The main character in this drama, to whom I'm a mere stagehand, will ignite the kingdom life, a fire, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
    I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey …

    I asked for health, that I might do great things.
    I was given infirmity, that I might do better things …

    I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
    I was given poverty, that I might be wise …

    I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
    I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God …

    I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
    I was given life, that I might enjoy all things …

    I got nothing I asked for—but everything I had hoped for.
    Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

    I am, among men, most richly blessed”

    ― Confederate soldier

    Amos 7:   But Amos stood up to Amaziah: "I never set up to be a preacher, never had plans to be a preacher. I raised cattle and I pruned trees.  Then God took me off the farm and said, 'Go preach to my people Israel.'

    Ephesians 1:  Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we're a free people – free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free!

    Mark 6:   Then they were on the road. They preached with joyful urgency that life can be radically different;   right and left they sent the demons packing; they brought wellness to the sick, anointing their bodies, healing their spirits.

    Acts of the Apostles 9The church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was at peace.  It was being built up and walked in the fear of the Lord, and with the consolation of the Holy Spirit it grew in numbers.

    1 John 3:  And his commandment is this: we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another just as he commanded us.

    John 15:  I am the vine, you are the branches.  Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing.

    Rosemary's Blessing:

    Grant us, Lord God,

    a vision of your world as your

    love would have it: 

    a world where the weak are protected,

    and none go hungry or poor; 

    a world where the riches of creation are

    shared, and everyone can enjoy them; 

    a world where different races and cultures

    live in harmony and mutual respect; 

    a world where peace is built with justice,

    and justice is guided by love.

    Give us the inspiration and courage to

    build it, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Amen.

  • Reminder for Fifth Sunday of Easter, May 7, 2023

    Acts of the Apostles 6:  The word of God continued to spread, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased greatly, …

    1 Peter 2:  You are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises" of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

    John 14:  " … Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father."

    Betsy!  Where you been?  Missing you tons.

     

    From our Dearest Becky:

    Legacy Preparatory Charter Academy is now your drop off point for needed medical supplies such as gloves and masks. We are also combining this with a food pantry drive.

    If you feel the need to help during this special time and can bring any or all of these needed medical supplies and/or food donations, Legacy will get them to the appropriate sites.

    Hours are between 8 am and 4 pm Monday – Fridays. Week end hours by appointment only for large donations.

    Location: 601 Accent Dr., Plano 75075

    Please share share share !

    Also from Becky:

    Legacy has just spent the last week preparing to be closed for probably the year and yet still have school. We are fortunate that the Texas Education Agency and the Commissioner of Education  has allowed educators to continue to be paid if we make an attempt to instruct children while they are home.

    Not only at Legacy, but educators around the state have been doing just that. Many districts like us will be starting online school or giving out instructional packets on Monday. We also started our food program back early last week and on Tuesday handed out over 1000 meals in one day. Every Monday now families can come and receive 7 days worth of food for each child in the home. For many families, especially for the ones who has a parent or two who has been laid off, it’s making a tremendous difference.

    I am proud of my leadership team and what they have accomplished in one week’s time. But you know what’s even better? Knowing that Legacy is not unique. You will continue to hear wonderful stories of what school districts around the state of Texas are doing to meet the needs of families through food support and low tech and high tech learning. It’s a great time to be proud of your public school system!
