Adopt A Neighborhood for Easter

On April 9th we will have postcards for you to use to invite your friends and neighbors to join us at one of The Sycamore Network locations. You can hand out the postcards individually or you can address them and send them through the mail. It will be a great opportunity for you to invest and invite, two actions we really believe in at The Sycamore Network. Take the time and make the investment. Easter is a time when many people are open to invitations to come to church.

If want to participate in this outreach event, we must hear from you by Monday, April 3rd. You may mark you InfoCard during the service or you may reply by email to info@thesycamorenetwork.org. We need to know how many you would like to have. You will be able to pick them up at church on April 9th.

Time Change - Spring Forward

It’s that time again. Remember to set you clocks ahead one hour before you go to sleep Saturday night.

Let's Exercise What We Say We Believe

Someone has said that, if Christians really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless.

In WWII there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every day at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace.

There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America. If you would like to participate: Every evening at 9:00 pm Eastern Time ( 8:00 pm Central) (6:00 pm Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, and peace in the world. If you know anyone else who would like to participate, please pass this along.

Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.

Together, we "CAN" make a difference!

Past, Present and Future

Something to think about this week:

Learn from your past, and don't repeat past mistakes
Focus on your present, and live each day to its fullest
Plan for your future, and make tomorrow better than today

Rules for Being Human

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."

4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better than "here." When your "there" has become a "here,"

you will simply obtain another "there" that will, again, look better than "here."

7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

Rev. Michael D. Powell, "Look, Listen, Love, and Live"

Second Hand Christians

For faith to be genuine it has to be our own. Harry Emerson Fosdick once said, "So many church members are secondhand Christians. They have inherited it from their families, borrowed it from their friends, married it, taken it over like the cut of their clothes from the fashion of their group." Jesus calls us to be firsthand Christians whose faith is as alive as our Savior.

Where do you stand?
