PASTOR TODD’S WEEKLY WORD
One month ago, in this very space, I shared a passage of Scripture that is particularly meaningful to me. As we come to the final days before Spring Break and the final days before Holy Week and Easter Sunday, and with everything that is going on in the world around us, it seems most appropriate to share it again today…
“Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way of everlasting life.”
-Psalm 139:23-24
Over the coming days and weeks…use these words as a prayer over your own heart, your own thoughts, and your own ways. May God bless you and keep you as you do so.
And if you’d like to live out the truth of this passage in a community of loving Jesus-followers, join us at 10:30am on Sunday, just like every Sunday morning, at 4141 East Hillandale. See you then!

ELDER & DEACON NOMINATIONS
It is time to nominate those from our congregation who you would like to be considered as an Elder or Deacon. Over the next couple months, the Elders and Deacons will prayerfully consider who will be the next leaders of our church. Please submit your nominations to the office (shcrc1@gmail.com) or to any current Elder, Deacon or Pastor.
For reference, there are two key Bible passages dealing with the qualifications of leaders in the New Testament, 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9 [13]
