Meet ZOEY
ADOPTABLE Pets of the Week! Zoey is a fun, very cuddly pup and also a quick learner. Her foster family has taught her how to sit and shake when asked. She is also super good at catching treats when they are tossed her way. Zoey gets along great with other dogs! She loves to play and has no problem sharing toys. However, her forever home will need to be cat-free because she thinks cats are too interesting. Zoey is less than a year old and weighs approximately 56 pounds. She is a hound mix and is expected to get up to around 65 pounds when full grown. If Zoey sounds like the dog for you, please fill out an adoption application. Upon approval, a meeting will be set up for you with her foster family. Learn more at wishbonepetrescue.org. The Allegan County Animal Shelter is operated by Wishbone Pet Rescue. Sponsored by

An Update from the Community Shoppers Guide to our Community
We want you to know we will do our best to continue to publish our paper weekly so you can stay informed about important business information and relevant community news. Since no one can say yet how long we will need to modify our movements to best contain the transmittal of the virus, we will evaluate the situation weekly. To what degree we are able to continue delivery of the print edition of the Community Shoppers Guide depends on the duration and severity of our advertising revenue loss. Any interruption in the print edition of our free paper will be temporary. Like all businesses and like all of you, we are taking this challenge one day at a time. We will do our best to get your ad information in the week you want it in, but if we are unable will refund your payment.
We will post on our Facebook page by mid-week if there will be a paper that upcoming weekend.
Please be patient and keep in mind that calling the office will not always be the best option. If you do not receive a paper, and aren't sure if one was delivered, you have several options…
1. If you have online access, check our website at www.communityshoppersguide.net There is a link on the website to "View Current/Past Issues". Once you click that you will be taken to the online library of our issues for the past 10 years. The newest issue is uploaded on Friday so if you don't see one as the weekend passes, you can assume there is not a paper that week. Older web browsers can experience difficulties.
2. When you make your essential trip to the store and for gas, you can grab a paper at our dropsites or grab one outside our front door in the boxes there.
3. Due to altered hours & limited staffing, phone calls may not always be answered, but you can send us an email with any questions or concerns and we will get back to you as soon as possible. shoppersguide@sbcglobal.net
4. You can deposit an ad or inquiry in the drop box slot to the left of our front door to our office. We will check this daily and get back to you.
We appreciate your patience in this challenging time. We look forward to business as usual once we know we are safe to resume our regular activities. Deadlines: Display Ads: 4pm Wednesdays, Classifieds: 12noon Thursdays
Temporary Hours of availability: Mon.-Fri. 9am-4pm (subject to change) Thank You! Stay Safe!

“DAY OF TRIUMPH”
By_____________________________________ Rev. Dan Minor - revdminor1945@gmail.com “Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord… Hosanna in the highest!” (Mark 11:9-10).
Everything came to a head on Palm Sunday. The forces of good and evil were about to clash. On the one hand there was Jesus facing His last week of life on earth with unflinching courage, unshakeable confidence and sublime hope. He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey (the symbol of peace) as the King of Peace, in fulfillment to the prophecy of Zechariah (Zechariah 9:9; Matthew 21:5).
It happened during the Jewish Passover celebration. God chose a time when the greatest number of people (tens of thousands!) would see Him at the same time. Many had traveled a long distance to be there. Many of Jesus’ friends were present along with many curiosity seekers who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the Miracle Worker from Galilee. That would include those who had witnessed the recent miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead.
Meanwhile, His enemies were determined to stop Him. The week before Him would be marked by deception, plotting, scheming, hurried trials based on false witnesses, physical and emotional suffering leading to His tragic death on a cross.
Palm Sunday was a pre-arranged, deliberate attempt by Jesus to present Himself as God’s Messiah. Palm Sunday is known as our Lord’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Yet one must ask: triumphant for whom? Triumph for God’s plan? For sure! Triumph for believers? Without a doubt! Triumph for you and me, living on this side of Kingdom history? Absolutely yes! Ultimate triumph would come one week later (Easter).
The present day message is that Jesus is always calling us to decision. Either we are for Him or against Him! When it comes to His cross, there is no such thing as middle ground.
I am reminded of a sermon I preached on this subject twenty years ago. One of our grandsons, four years old at the time, asked, “Grandpa, do you love me?” I responded, “Of course I love you, more than words can say!” Then he asked, “Do you really love me?” The answer was the same!
Palm Sunday comes around once a year to remind us that God really does love us and He demonstrated that love by dying on the cross for our sins.
Prayer: Dear Lord, with hearts full of love, we will say it again. “Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!!” In Your strong name we pray. Amen.
Beware Federal Stimulus Scams LANSING – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel issued an urgent consumer alert urging Michiganders to be on high alert for bad actors aiming to coerce them out of their personal information in a new federal stimulus payment scam. Scammers are using the news that the federal government will send one-time payments to millions of people across the country as part of the federal economic relief response to COVID-19 to steal personal information. The Michigan Department of Attorney General has already received reports that residents are getting emails from websites appearing to be official demanding that they provide PayPal, bank account or other financial information to receive the $1,200 federal stimulus payment immediately. The Attorney General’s office is reminding anyone who receives a text, email or phone call from someone claiming to be from the government with a check for them — DO NOT FALL FOR IT. These fake phishing scams will likely ask for a person’s bank account information and insist $1,000 or more will be deposited directly into his or her bank account. Personal information should not be given to anyone unless the provider of that information is absolutely certain of the identity of the person requesting it. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the federal stimulus payment and specific disbursement details, only visit the IRS website.
