Sidewalk Sunday School March

pictures of Jesus. It looks wonderful!! Very bright!!! One wall has Jesus up in the clouds and the little children are coming to Him. My favorite one is Jesus winking at the kids and giving them a "thumbs up". The kids love that one too! We now have a puppet stage. God is on the move at SWSS. Have you ever notice that God never stops moving? That is how we should be living for Him. Always on the move! Always going deeper and stretching "out" in our walk with Him. As I was with my mom in her final week, , God showed me just how strong our flesh is. She was ready spiritually to go and be with God. But her flesh would not die. It kept wanting to live. I see why it is hard for us to stay forcus on God. If we let our flesh just be a little in control, we are going to have problems walking with God. (Our flesh is not just the outer layer of our bodies, it is anything that is worldly.) I would like to challenge each one of you to something that God has put on my heart. You will need to (possibly) give up something that might be considered "flesh". Your time!!! God has put on my heart to continue having SWSS this summer during a weekday. I would like to have it in the afternoon from 2-3:00 at Garden Square. (If I have enough volunteers, I would like to have it also at Pine Valley on a different day) Our theme will be "The Beatitudes. (The Bee-Attitudes) We have been teaching the kids on Saturdays and Sundays the Fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit lives in us. Now we need to teach the kids the "right attitude" to have . A Christ-like attitude to go with the actions of the Fruit of the Spirit. Please pray about this and if you feel led to help, please email me (maryingle@yahoo.com) or call me (868-3151.) We will have it outside by the community room. (I want to meet with them on their turf). We will have singing, story, a game, and a snack. We might try and do a craft occasionally.

I give God all the glory for SWSS and for all of our AWESOME volunteers, prayer warriors, and His immeasurable provisions. . God is soo good!! All the time!!!

Please continue to pray for all of us at SWSS that everything that we are doing is in God's will. I know that this ministry is not ours, but God's.We are being used as His hands and feet. We have a heart of compassion in serving and loving others. Doing this, we are serving Jesus. We, just like Jesus, are here to serve, not to be served to.

With heartfelt thanks,

Mary Ingle
