ing discover Christ. Annie rallied churches to give more, pray more, and do more for reaching people for Christ. As we continue to unite to make her vision a reality in North America today, we can be confident that her legacy will also be ours. Click on this link to view a video Annie Armstrong believed in Christ with all her heart, but it was her hands that expressed that belief in tangible ways. She spent a great amount of time typing and handwriting letters in support of missions. Many of these letters were quite lengthy and all were filled with conviction that more could and should be done in our mission efforts. In 1893 alone, she wrote almost 18,000 letters! Annie also never hesitated to use her hands to reach out to hug a child or distribute food and clothing and the Word of God to those in need. Her hands held her own Bible as she studied to know how best to share Gods love with others. And, most important, Annie was a woman of prayer, folding her hands in prayer to intercede for the missionaries and for those they were helpTHEME: Whatever It Takes VERSE: Mark 2:15 (HCSB) 100% of your gift is transformed into missionary salaries and ministry supplies that help make it possible for them to share the Gospel. Goal: $8,000. Children & Adults can give and be blessed! Envelopes are located in the church pews. * Please take time to pray for North American Missionaries.

The Week at a Glance

Attitude is the minds paintbrush. It can color a situation gloomy and gray, or cheerful and gay. In fact, attitudes are more important than facts. Mary C. Crowley

MARCH WMU PROJECT UNDIES SUNDAYS

Dont Miss Your Chance to Bless and Be Blessed...The Needs are Many
Food For Friends T.C. Miller and WLBC are partnering together to start a Food for Friends program because, in our current economy, it is becoming increasingly difficult for families to make ends meet. Our church will help by providing 10 youngsters per week with nutritious foods/snacks to eat over the weekend. The food will be put in backpacks for the kids. We are asking for WLBC members to help by supplying the food for the backpacks. Please bring items to church and leave in the box marked TC Miller Food for Friends. You can contact Robin Hall, during the day, with any questions: 384-8949.

The entire month of March we will be collecting NEW underwear (adult or child sizes) for the Bland Ministry.
Bland Ministry Center is located amidst the rolling mountains of Appalachia. The centers goals are to meet the spiritual & physical needs of people in the region. They have four ministries to meet those needs: Food Distribution; Clothes Closet; Dental Care; and Construction Mission Teams.

Food List Granola Bars Green Beans Tuna Salad Kits Raisins Macaroni/Cheese Jelly Original Baked Beans Soups Cereal (hot & cold) Peanut Butter Mixed Fruit Cups Crackers Fruit Snacks

Please help their ministry by participating in Undies Sundays.

*Put new underwear in laundry basket located in the office hall.

Spring Fever Four high school students afflicted with spring fever skipped their morning classes. After lunch, the boys told their teacher theyd had a flat tire. Much to the boys relief, the teacher smiled and said, Well, you missed a test, so take seats apart from one another and take out a piece of paper. Still smiling, she waited for them to sit down. Then she said, First question: Which tire was flat? Pray for Missionaries: The Knight Family (Japan) www.theknights.multiply.com
