CHURCH & COMMUNITY FOCUS: The Lord is the light of our life - Richmond Register

Posted: 29 Mar 2019 11:02 PM PDT

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.(Psalms 27: 1-6)

Magic Valley Ministries gather for worship

BUHL — The United Methodist Churches of Buhl, Filer, Hagerman, Wendell and Jerome share ministry and mission in rural Magic Valley and gather together for worship whenever there is a fifth Sunday in a month. They will gather for worship at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at the Buhl United Methodist Church, 908 Maple St. Rev. Penny Hodges will preach and Rev. Mike Hollomon will assist in leading worship.

An enchilada lunch will follow worship. Visitors are asked to bring a dessert to share. Anyone interested in experiencing or exploring traditional United Methodist worship in a relaxed style is welcome to attend.

Sunday is also UMCOR Sunday. A special offering will be taken to support the United Methodist Committee on Relief which is the humanitarian and development arm of the United Methodist Church. This offering covers all the administrative costs of UMCOR so that when donations are made for specific disasters or ministries, all of those donations go to assistance.

Rose Sunday at Ascension

TWIN FALLS — The Episcopal Church of the Ascension will celebrate Rose Sunday with Holy Communion at 9 a.m. at the church, 371 Eastland Drive N. Nursery care for children younger than five will be from 8:45 a.m. until after worship. A fellowship coffee hour and Christian Education for adults and children will follow the service.

Knit Us Together, the handwork group, meets from 1 to 3 p.m. Wednesdays in the classroom wing of the church. Bible Study meets on Thursdays from 11 to noon in the Memorial Room.

On April 4, Thursdays in Lent continues with a short worship service of Evening Prayer at 5:30 p.m., followed by Soup Supper at 6 p.m. Lenten Study, "God for Us: Rediscovering the Meaning of Lent and Easter," will follow from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. All are welcome for any part of the evening. A free-will offering for Soup Supper will be appreciated.

Ascension Episcopal Church is handicapped-accessible.

Unitarian Universalists explore living wholeheartedly

TWIN FALLS — Synonyms for "wholehearted" are many: ardent, avid, eager, enthused, fervent, gung-ho, impassioned, zealous, lively, earnest, unrestrained, and on and on. But is living with a whole heart more than living in the hearty manner these words imply?

The public is welcome at the Magic Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at 10:30 a.m. Sunday at 160 Ninth Ave. E. Patricia Heeb, member of the Boise Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, will deliver her message about living wholeheartedly.

Unitarian Universalism honors the differing paths individuals travel. Congregations are places where people celebrate, support and challenge one another as they continue on their spiritual journeys.

Unitarian Universalists covenant to affirm and promote: the inherent worth and dignity of every person; justice, equality and compassion in human relations; and acceptance of one another.

Newcomers of all religious paths, or none at all, are always welcome. Child care is available. The church is handicapped-accessible. Please park in the rear of the building or on the street in front or the side of the building.

Easter services at Magic Valley Bible Church

TWIN FALLS — Magic Valley Bible Church will hold its Good Friday service at 6:30 p.m. April 19 at the church, 204 Main Ave. W. The service will commemorate Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross with Communion and Pastor Bear's sermon, "The Theological Implications of the Cross of Christ."

The Easter Sunday service will be at 9 a.m. April 21 at the church, to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus through music and the preaching of the Word. Church youth will lead worship. The sermon will be "Jesus: The Resurrection and the Life," taken from John 11:25–26. There will be a potluck meal following the service.

We welcome all to our service at 9 a.m. every Sunday followed by fellowship and Sunday School. Confirmation every other Tuesday at 4 p.m. Next biweekly Tuesday Table Talks on April 9 at 6 p.m. following confirmation. Lenten soup and service is at 6 p.m. every Wednesday until Holy Week.

Is your lamp oil full and do you have extra to light your lamp until the Son returns? Matthew 25 contains the parable of the 10 bridesmaids who are waiting for the bridegroom. The five wise bridesmaids had extra oil, the others did not. When the others' oil ran out they went to buy more and while away the bridegroom came and took the five wise ones to the wedding, locking out the others. The foolish were not attending to the bridegroom but doing secondary things they felt important.

The parable of the bridesmaids serves as a call for self-examination. Are our priorities aligned with God's priorities, or are we so distracted with secondary concerns that we risk missing what is most important — the presence of Jesus in our midst?

God's grace invites us to his Kingdom here on earth. We are strengthened by His Holy Spirit to go and tell others of his love and mercy for us. This is the priority.

Bethel Lutheran invites you to learn more about this amazing grace that God has given to all believers.

Ross Ward, Evangelist

The book of Hebrews is full of correlations between the Old and the New Testaments. We find an analogy in Hebrews 3 & 4 of the infant nation of Israel as they left Egyptian captivity. Here the Hebrew writer makes note that the Israelites failed to obey God and were condemned, left to wander in the wilderness for 40 years, Hebrews 3:8-11. Israel had journeyed to the edge of Canaan but feared the nations and refused to conquer the land as God had instructed, thus they were punished for their disobedience. They were rejected form entering their land of Promise. Notice Hebrews 3:11, "So I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest." The Hebrew writer uses this example to warn Christians that they are to obey God, lest they come short like the Children of Israel did. Hebrews 3:12, "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God." This serves as a warning for all Christians that we too can depart from God, that we can come up short of the goal, that we can miss our promised land, Heaven.

ST. BERNARD CATHOLIC CHURCH

583 W Sexton St., Blackfoot

ST. KATERI'S CHAPEL

Sheepskin Road and D Street, Fort Hall

Join devotional prayers for Christ's Passion at The Stations of the Cross at St. Bernard Church each Thursday in English at 7 p.m., and each Friday in Spanish at 7 p.m. until Holy Week. April 6 is First Saturday and most first Saturdays of each month there is First Saturday Mass at 9 a.m. at St. Bernard Church. First Saturday Mass leads us to prayers for the sorrows of Our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary and her Son, Jesus Christ. This devotion began in the early centuries of the Church, and later in the early 1900s was encouraged by Pope Pius V, and emphasized in visions at Fatima and beyond. It became an important practice for Catholics around the world. Along with attending Mass and receiving the Eucharist worthily; meditating on the life of Christ through the rosary and preparing and going to a sacramental confession each month—promises a soul peace for themselves and for the world.

Sunday vigil Mass are Saturdays at 7 p.m. at Saint Bernard Church; Sunday Masses begin at 8 a.m. in Fort Hall at St. Kateri Tekakwitha Chapel, then 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at St. Bernard Church. Daily Masses celebrated at 8 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays in the oratory/small chapel in the office; Fridays with Adoration following Mass at 8 a.m. in the church; and Wednesday at 10 a.m. at The Willows. First Saturday Mass celebrated at the beginning of each month at 9 a.m.

On Sundays, we study God's Word, the Bible. We have a great time of fellowship and sharing together after studying God's Word. As Easter approaches, we look forward to seeing God's Word, the Bible, take hold of hearts as we read and study about Jesus who died to save us. Come study God's Word with us. Isaiah reminds us that, "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 3:6)

Come and join us on Sundays to learn more about trusting God's Word, the Bible, and trusting in Christ alone for Salvation. Place your faith in Jesus Christ and God's grace today for eternal life. Once again, I'm Pastor Dave Brunner Jr. May God keep His eyes on you and His loving arms around you.

Meet with us on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. A Seventh-day Adventist Fellowship.

The following is an excerpt from the book "Time With God," by Judy Ann Neal.

"Have you ever heard a congregational prayer that had a profound influence on you? Most public prayers are said and forgotten within moments; however, there are two prayers I will never forget because they changed me forever. The first such prayer was spoken by a little girl, who was about three or four years old. She volunteered to pray after the worship service's children's story. Her prayer was simple, consisting of only three words. Dear Jesus, Help (long pause), help (very long pause), help. After the third help, an almost perceptible low murmur of laughter went through the congregation, more of quiet self-recognition than mirth. The congregation understood the little one had forgotten what she wanted to say. At the same time, we also recognized the truth in what she did say. Sometimes life beats us down so low, there is nothing left to say but Help. I have prayed that short, simple prayer several times since hearing that little voice when I, too, have had no words left to say."

Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
