GATHER GROW GIVE GO
April 2026
Throughout Our Lives
I saw a picture of my family the other day from some years back. I am always amazed at how much my children have grown, but very rarely do I pay any attention to how I look. This day was different. I saw my picture and noticed how much change there has been in the years since; both in my appearance and in our family’s life.
Pictures do that for us. They help us see what has been and remind us how we got to where we are today.
The differences? Well, the obvious: my children are older and taller now, and me, well, there’s grey that has started to show for sure. But one thing that hasn’t changed, is God’s faithfulness. Isaiah 46:4 says
I will be your God throughout your lifetime—
until your hair is white with age.
I made you, and I will care for you.
I will carry you along and save you. (Isaiah 46:4, NLT)
Throughout our lives there will be changes. But one thing that will never change is God’s love and care for his children. So whether you are a child, a senior adult, a teenager, working, retired, wherever you are in life’s stages- you are a child of God and He made you, cares for you, carries you, and saves you!

“The Easter Morning”
Written by Vi Roop
When Jesus died on the cruel cross
He died so we wouldn’t be lost.
Thank God! He arose from the grave,
Giving us a choice to be saved.
Our Lord gave His life for us here on earth,
That we in return would receive the new birth.
Christ suffered, bled, and died,
Can’t you hear how His mother cried?
His [pleading for the lost to come unto Him
And find sweet rest,
Life after death will then be blest.
Don’t turn the Savior away from your heart!
It was for us He died right from the start.
New life in Jesus can be found
And in His love you will abound.
His arms are open far and wide,
So come to Jesus, the crucified!
This Easter morn let us do what is right,
Come to the Lord and all will be bright.
Life eternal is a long, long while,
Spend it in heaven with a joyful smile.
Make the choice now, don’t put it off,
Look how long your soul will be lost.
OWLS’ Gathering
So much fun today with the TBC OWLS! The tables were decorated perfectly to set the mood for Karaoke! Thank you Ellen, you outdid yourself on this one. Everyone loved the decorations!
Another wonderful Pot Luck lunch set up by Liz and Rachel was enjoyed by all before it was time for Karaoke. Thank you ladies.
Cheryl and Dan, two of our OWLS donated their time, equipment and professionalism to make for a super fun day for the OWLS! Thanks Cheryl and Dan. We had many singers, all did a wonderful job. We were also blessed with Cheryl and Dan sharing some of their favorites too. Dessert is always a favorite time and there were many delicious ones to enjoy.
We were so busy singing that we fit dessert in without a break. I’m so blessed to be apart of such a wonderful, beautiful group of people.
Our day ended with Amazing Grace and How Great Thou Art! Both Beautiful and very Meaningful Songs. Till next time.
Blessings, Nancy
