Schedules have settled down; routines have returned to "normal". Now we look forward to spring--it's here! Taking the longer view, we must rest on the conviction that each day, each month, each season and each year are under God's hand. "Adelante con Dios" --Forward with God--is a great theme. As small groups meet, Bible studies conducted and messages brought, there's one thing that's more frightening than an earthquake or a terrorist attack; it's called "sin". The only way to handle it is through forgiveness in Jesus Christ. That's the message here at Ebenezer--in all the possible programs and services. Thanks for your support and we need your prayers. Your friends at Ebenezer. * * * * Worship Morning Messages on "People Matter" January 3 "Not What But Who" 1 Peter 2:9 January 10 "People Matter" Matthew 25:31-46 January 17 Guest pastor January 24 "On a Mission" Galatians 4:1-7 January 31 "Do We Really Get It?
