Wheels for the World A local high school senior, Ellie Cole, reached out as a representative for Joni and Friends’ Wheels for the World, a Christian wheelchair collection organization, asking for our help! Wheels for the World collects, restores and distributes wheelchairs and other assistive devices (walkers, canes and crutches) to provide help for people with disabilities in countries around the world while sharing the Gospel. Their desire is for local churches to unite and collect wheelchairs for this honorable purpose. They are seeking wheelchairs, foldable metal walkers, metal canes, and metal crutches (in any condition). They can provide donors with a receipt if requested. If you have any of these items you can donate, please bring them to the church office. To learn more about Wheels for the World, visit http://joniandfriends.org/wheelsfortheworld/

Sunday Scripture Luke 20:27-40 (NIV) 27 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question. 28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. 30 The second 31 and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. 32 Finally, the woman died too. 33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?” 34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection. 37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ 38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.” 39 Some of the teachers of the law responded, “Well said, teacher!”40 And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
HELP NEEDED– MEALS FOR MINISTRY Christian Job Corps of Gillespie County 501c3’s first classes have begun! This allvolunteer ministry provides job and life skills training, including Christian education, free to the participants. An important part of the program is a meal together. You can help! The women meet T-W-Th from 11 a.m.—2 p.m., so lunch is needed. The men meet T-W-Th from 6-9 p.m., so a light dinner is needed. We are asking for volunteers to provide a healthy meal for 5 each of these days through May 25th. If your Sunday school class, small group or individuals can help with a meal please call Connie Cowan, the Women's Site Coordinator, at 830-456-8234, or Arlie Lammers, the Men's Site Coordinator 830-285-5238 It would be extremely helpful if you could choose a day and sponsor the meal for the next 8 weeks on the day you choose (ie: each Tues noon, or Wed evening etc).
