"Thanks" to our guest organist, Carol Bittner, for sharing her time and
talents with us this morning.
For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone and there is none remaining, bond or free. Then he will say, 'Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge, who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you; let them be your protection! "'See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!" And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written, "Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt!" His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign. So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him."

WYNEKEN NEWS:
Dear Wyneken Association members, what a blessing it is that our Lord has given us the means to operate a Christian school. We should always remember to thank and praise God for giving us faithful stewards of the gifts which make our school possible. The work of operating the school will never be complete, so we should also continue to pray daily that the Lord will help us to open our hearts and find ways that we can use our gifts to His glory. In the very near future the Board of Education will be seeking individuals to assist with the NLSA Accreditation Renewal process and the maintenance needs of our facility. We pray that you will be receptive to our calls. In His and your service, Wyneken Board of Christian Education.
Policy Reminder:
The Wyneken Board of Education wishes to remind all members and guests that we have a policy governing the use of the school gymnasiums. A provision of the policy is: “Permission must be obtained through the principal or the athletic director for facility usage with no exceptions.” This policy exists for several reasons which include insuring the safety of those using the facilities, guaranteeing adequate supervision is provided, avoiding usage conflicts, and protecting the property of the Association. Members should understand that they are welcome to use the facilities but the policy is to be followed. Please contact Mr. Timm (639-6177) or Mrs. Shoup (724-9069) to request use of the facilities.
