Genesis 16:13..... " You are the God who sees me"

“The eyes of God are upon me, He sees everything I do. The arms of God are around me; they keep me safe and secure. And He knows where I am, every hour of every day. He knows each thought I think; He knows each word that I might say. And although there've been times I've been out of His will, I've never been out of His care.”

So have you ever wondered if anyone really sees you for your value and worth? Do you long to be cherished and adored? I’m so excited to share with you this year’s National Women’s Ministries Theme: Adored – By the God Who Sees Me. In Genesis 16, we find the story of Hagar (Sarah’s servant) and the plans of imper-fect humans that were set into place to try to “help” God out with His perfect plans. No doubt both Hagar and Sarah were frustrated and heartbroken concerning the situation - BUT GOD! Yes, God saw these two ladies just as He see us with our struggles, hindrances, issues and disappointments. I invite you to join us as we spend time together in 2019 getting to know several women of the Bible. Their personal stories demonstrate God’s incredi-ble love, healing power, and ability to see greatness and promise in all of us - no matter where we might find ourselves. Just as our Heavenly Father looks to the future, we, too, are looking ahead to 2019 with ways that we can connect with and encourage each other to grow in our relationship with God, such as:

1. “A Movie & More” – Plan to attend on Saturday, March 23th at 1:00pm, we will be viewing the movie “An Interview with God.” We will follow with a time of fellowship and discussion about this thought-provoking piece.

2. Did someone say food??? Starting in March (31st) there will be a “Sunday Out to Lunch Bunch.” We will meet on the 5th Sunday - once a quarter. We will follow the same guidelines as our monthly OTLB - we meet at a restaurant after the 11am service (different locale each time), with each lady paying for her own meal while enjoying fellowship together. Be on the look-out for more details.

3. Tuesday is Ladies Bible Study Day. Carve out some time in your schedule to attend studies in the morning (9:45-noon) or evening (7:30 – 9:00) or both!!…You will not be disappointed! See page 2 for details.

As I look forward to the New Year, I am inspired to “Make Room” in all aspects of my life for the God who sees me. I encourage each of you to do the same - remember you will always be cherished, valued and adored by our Heavenly Father.

Love and Prayers Yvonné

Dorcas House

The Dorcas House is a Missionary Commissary located at Potomac Park Conference Center in Fall-ing Waters, WV. It is set up like a miniature store. Nationally appointed full time world missionaries from the Potomac Network are eligible and encour-aged to "shop" for needed and wanted basic house-hold items at no cost to them. The U.S. Potomac Network missionaries are also eligible and encour-aged to “shop” every other year. Our network wid-ows are also blessed with an item from the Dorcas House each year at Christmas. The generous ladies of the Potomac Network strive very hard at keeping the Dorcas House sup-plied. At the beginning of every year, each section in the Network is assigned a "room" in the house. Donations to the Dorcas House are usually made in July at Missions Day - however, donations are welcome at any time throughout the year. The Dorcas House is a tremendous blessing to our missionaries. We wish you could experience the excitement and every heartfelt expression of grati-tude as the families "shop" at no cost. We want our missionaries to have the very best we can possibly give them, so we only accept items that are new and of a good quality.

This year JCC has been assigned Power Tools & Gift Cards. Melanie Ferguson is our Dorcas House representative. Be on the look out for more details about this awesome project.

SANCTITY OF LIFE

MINISTRY

"We've created a wish list on Amazon of the most

needed items for our Earn While You Learn boutique.

Clients can pick from these items after attending pre-

natal and parenting education classes to help them

prepare for their baby's arrival!

These donations have a direct impact on a client's life

and the life of her baby. Our needs are sometimes

specific, and sometimes we actually have too much

of some particular items! (For instance: please don't

send us more baby blankets - we're swimming in

them! Please send them to another pregnancy center

in need.) This list is comprehensive as to our current

needs, and they get shipped directly to our center, so

you don't have to worry about transporting them!

Thank you for considering these donated items that

will directly impact new moms in need!"

If you would like additional information about this

ministry, or wonder how you can help see, Anna

Maylett.

I wanted to change the world

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.

I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the na-

tion, I began to focus on my town. I could-n't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their im-pact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world. Romans 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mer-cies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and ac-ceptable and perfect.

We Have a Prayer Room!!

“…these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of pray-

er… for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” (Isaiah 56:7)

Similar words were spoken to Pastor Bill Frasnelli as Jubilee Christian Center

was being built. This house of the Lord would not be built on worldly trap-

pings, but on the prayers of God’s people…. and so it has been.

Now, we have a dedicated Prayer Room at JCC. Located in Room 213A

(adjacent to the youth room), the Prayer Room is a peaceful place to seek the

Lord, for individual prayer or study.

The Prayer Room is available anytime the church is open, day or evening. For

private prayer, biblical counseling, or bible study, it is also used for church

prayer during the Sunday school hour. Faithful prayer warriors of the church

gather together to lift up to Jesus the needs of His people.

Come away to seek the Lord, to pray in solitude or with another believer.

Come away to the quiet.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with

thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God,

which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through

Christ Jesus.” Phil 4:6,7

Robin’s Review

Book Review

The Prince Warriors by Priscilla Shirer

Many of us have seen the movie, ‘War Room’, starring Pricilla Shirer. What a fantastic inspirational movie that was. But

have you tried reading The Prince Warriors written by Priscilla Shirer? She has just completed the 4th book in this se-

ries. My husband, Frank, devoured the first three (his words) and I bought the fourth as soon as it hit the shelves at

my local Christian book store. He wishes there were more sequels to the story.

His description for them are “Action, Triumph, Trusting in God”.

The interesting part is that this series was not written for adults; they are geared toward Middle-schoolers. They are

written in the modern-day era with cell phones and Rec Centers. I was leery at first, but only because I’m use to read-

ing high-action adult fiction that encompasses lots of historical data such as in books written by Joel C. Rosenberg.

(Those are also written in series and should be read in sequence as well. )

Movie Review-

Brush with Fate with Glenn Close

Cornelia (Glenn Close) is an eccentric Teacher who confides in her coworker Richard (Thomas Gibson) a deep

secret: she possesses a priceless painting from the great artist Vermeer that has been passed down for three

centuries. RE: Review from Hallmarkmovies.com

Do you enjoy a bit of history & romance with your adventure movie? How did the teacher come into possession

of this priceless item? Where has it been all this time? How did it survive 300 years? Available on
