Dear Church Member/Friend/Supporter
I hope that you are safe, healthy, rejoicing in the Lord, and thankful for the blessings He has afforded us during this time of health concerns and social uncertainty.
Even though we have not been able to worship together for the past few weeks, God has certainly been good to us. I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting with various directors of area organizations and city officials. It has been thrilling to see how our community is working together to help and support each other. That goes for members of our church who have gone above and beyond expectations to help and support each other. Special thanks to Cherry Goodridge, our treasurer, for making the rounds to deliver SS Quarterlies to those of our members who are sick and shut in. Not only did she deliver the quarterlies for the next quarter, but also groceries to those in need.
We distributed over 30 boxes of food on March 19 . Because of government restrictions our neighbors were unable to shop during food distribution, so we had to pack boxes of food items that we received from 2nd Harvest and give to those who came to the church. We appreciate the dedicated service of Innocent N., Pastor D., Jimmy S., Dianne B., Jose L., Jan L., Cherry G., Dan N., and volunteers from the community who helped to accomplish this task.
WE HAVE NEW LIGHTS:
When we return to WCMC for services we will have brand new spotlights in the church. I was able to see how they work. We can project white, red, and green lights to shine on the stage. There are many other features with the new lights that we need to explore. Thank you Dan N. for this tremendous donation! Sis. Sharon R. supported Dan in this endeavor. Thank you Sharon!
Our mice problem is improving.
Hopefully at the end of the “stay at home” policy issued by the governor, the church will be rodent free when we return to having services and our weekly potluck. I know that you young people will be happy for that! 😊 Even us older adults miss the time of socializing and fellow shipping together over nutritious and delicious food.
I hope that those of you who attended church a few weeks ago were able to hear the presentation from Sis. Sharon regarding COVID-19 and safety issues. Also for a couple of weeks we had bulletin inserts with information we received from Upper Columbia Conference. Please keep this information handy so that you can remain informed to best practices in dealing with this virus.
SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON ONLINE:
WCMC Administrators and Communication Department are working together to have the Sabbath School Lesson online with Pastor D facilitating the study.
We hope that this will be available to you beginning next week (quarter) as we discuss “The Uniqueness of the Bible.” When it is all set up we will send you the link and more information so that you can participate.
Our prayers have been answered
for Gretchen H. Her surgery was successful and she is at home with Darris who I know missed her very much.
We welcome your help and suggestions.
Let me know if you have any prayer request/s and I will pass on to our prayer warriors and those on our email list. Also, let us remember to share our praises and testimonies of God’s goodness. Let us continue to pray for each other.

SCRIPTURE FOR THE WEEK:
Isaiah 40
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of His understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
The work of redemption will be complete. In the place where sin abounded, God's grace much more abounds. The earth itself, the very field that Satan claims as his, is to be not only ransomed but exalted. Our little world, under the curse of sin, the one dark blot in His glorious creation, will be honored above all other worlds in the universe of God. Here, where the Son of God tabernacled in humanity; where the King of glory lived and suffered and died,—here, when He shall make all things new, the tabernacle of God shall be with men, “and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.” And through endless ages as the redeemed walk in the light of the Lord, they will praise Him for His unspeakable Gift,— Immanuel, “God with us.” Desire of Ages, p. 26
Sincerely,
Mable Dunbar (WCMC Communication Director)

Getting More Light
“God will not give His Spirit to those who make no use of the heavenly gift. But those who are drawn out of and away from themselves, seeking to enlighten, encourage, and bless others will have increased ability and energy to expend. The more light they give, the more they receive.”
Southern Watchman, Oct. 31, 1905
“Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Matthew 5:16
