When The Church Gets Real
|
|
The Apostle Paul had a clear conscience. When you don’t have anything to hide, you are free.
|
|
But what about when you fail? That’s when you have the opportunity to be real in your repentance. The church is not perfect. We are not perfect. If we claim to be, we’re not being honest; we’re not being real. Part of our conduct is our confession, and being real in our confession means acknowledging our sins, asking for forgiveness, and turning around.
|
None of us is real in all of these areas. Thankfully, there is One who is real 100 percent of the time—Jesus. His love will cover our lapses. That’s why we look to him for grace and power to make our genuineness stand out in a world of skepticism.

Good News for the Media Luna Methodist Church
|
|
Since 2016, the MUIP ministry, realizing the great need of clean water in Cuba to prevent diseases and epidemics, found a way through Agape flights to take water system purifiers to Cuba. This freestanding system has the capability of killing bacteria and viruses, producing a continuous supply of water at a rate of 13.24 liters per minute, so it may be used by a large number of persons.
|
|
|
In 2019, fundraising efforts were directed to get one of these systems for the Niquero Methodist Church, the closest temple to Media Luna MC (which is a house-church). Niquero Church is officially recognized by the Cuban government as a Methodist Church in Cuba since it was built prior to 1959.
|
After much prayer for God’s favor to get this system safely to Cuba, news was received that 10 purification systems had arrived in Cuba and one of them would soon be delivered and installed in Niquero Methodist Church. Our Cuban brothers and sisters are rejoicing as soon they will be able to have clean water to drink and bathe. Thank you, Lord!.

'Have a Heart, Grab a Heart' Month
|
|
WEEK 2 - How fun to see all the amazing food donations that the Bridges families are giving to 'Have a Hear, Grab a Heart'. It’s so wonderful to grab the Pack a Sack wagon and go around to all the classrooms to see how much they have collected. The photo shows everything we’ve collected so far – 2 weeks into the campaign.
|
|
|
A heart-felt thank you to all the teachers, families, Nadia and Jennifer for making February such a fun and exciting month for Pack a Sack.
|
If you want to participate, just take a heart and drop in one of the Boxes…all are invited to help.
|
|
If you have any questions about Pack a Sack or purchasing items, you can always ask me at church on Sunday or feel free to call me Jamie Wright @ 813/967-3800 or contact Shaun Black.
