“Charity   suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth:…”

(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

Love Notes

A Valentine’s Day
A day of chocolates and teddy bears
Tiny hearts that say, “I care”
A dozen roses, a card that sings
A tiny box with a diamond ring
These are the things, some would say,
That makes so sweet, our Valentine’s Day.
But there is something extra, something more
That makes our love, so swiftly soar
Into the heavens, as the eagle flies
On angels’ wings so gently lies
This special feeling, this kind of love
That only comes from God above.

I love you, Tammy. ~Tony Sutton

I want to thank you for the 40 years we have been together and for always loving me and putting up with me. I could have never asked for a better wife and a good Christian woman than the one He has given me. Happy Valentine's Day. 

I love you very much ~ Herbert Parrott

God has truly blessed me with many things in my life. He has saved my soul from hell, but next to that, the greatest thing he has ever given me is you. You are the love of my life and I thank you for always standing behind me in everything that I have done. I thank God every day for you. I could not have asked for a better wife and help mate than you. On this day I say, I love you so much. Happy Valentine’s Day. 

Love, your husband, Tim

I thank God for every year that we have together. I love you so much. You mean so much to me. Before you came into my life, I understood what God meant when He said, “It is not good for man to be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” (Gen.2:18) He made you and brought you to me. When we became one flesh and one heart, my life was finally complete. Honey, words will never be able to describe how much you mean to me; what you do in our life together. I thank my Lord and my God for giving me a blessing like you. 

I love you. ~Bobby Sutton

Nik, I thank God that we have an eternity left to share. 

~Todd Simcox

Words could never express how much I love you and how grateful I am to have you by my side. I thank God for you every day.

Special Prayer Request

Our teens at Shelby Sr. High School need prayer. They lost one of their classmates last night (2/8/05). Ashley Yetzer was running track and collapsed. She was transported to Akron Children’s Hospital and placed on life support. She died in the night. She was 16 years old. Please pray for our kids.

Thanks,

Karen Barnett

Thought For Today

No Burden

An American missionary who was walking down the streets of a Chinese city was greatly interested in the children, many of whom were carrying smaller children upon their backs and managing at the same time to play their games. "It is too bad," the American sympathetically said to one little fellow, "that you have to carry such a heavy burden!" "He is no burden," came the quick reply; "He is my brother." "Well, you are chivalrous to say so!" said the man, and he gave the boy some money. When the missionary returned home he said to his family, "A little Chinese boy has taught me the fullest meaning of the words, 'Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.' " He recounted his interview and added, "If a little Chinese boy can carry and care for his brother and refuse to consider him a burden, surely we ought not to think it a burden to carry our brother, the weak and the needy ones, who look to us for help. Let us rejoice as we carry one, and say, by our actions, 'He is no burden; he is my brother.' "

“Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ..” (Galatians 6:2)

Junior Church

There will be no Junior Church this week, due to the special service. It will be back next week, Good Lord willing and the church don’t rise. But if it does, we will be having Junior Church in Heaven for all eternity! Praise God! If you know anyone who would like to go, [to heaven with us] please let us know so that we can visit them. We encourage you to visit them as well. If you would like to be a volunteer in Junior Church please let us know.

Thank you, Tammy for pointing out some good prospects.

Please continue to pray for us.
