Does pain have value?
In his book Leadership Pain: The Classroom for Growth, Samuel Chand suggests that pain can teach us things.
Sunday morning’s message (4/19/20) begins a series where we’ll consider that pain may be a teacher that comes with its own curriculum.
And that curriculum is valuable.
The Thursday Men’s Prayer Group went well tonight.

It was good to hear how God was working in our different lives.

My buddy and I have this ritual. I often ask him if he’d like to go for coffee. He always replies, “I don’t drink coffee.” Then I always say, “It’s not about the coffee!”
Then we go for coffee.
One of the problems of being #SafeAtHome is the disconnectedness we feel. It’s hard not to be together with friends, eating pizza, fishing, exercising, shopping…. We’ve probably all become aware that it isn’t the pizza or the fishing or the working out or the shopping that was important. It was the friendship. It was being together.
It’s not about the coffee.
The challenge we all face these days is knowing HOW to connect. How can we do that?
That’s what this video addresses.
Can you think of ways to get together with your brothers and sisters in Christ and “spur them on” while remaiing #SafeAtHome?
Sure you can! So get to it!!! 🙂

One tool you might use is the Curwensville Alliance Church App.
In just over three minutes, you can discover the features of our app.
As you can see, the app offers you several advantages:
I encourage you to give it a try, if you’re not already using it.

Don’t you miss seeing your church family?
Laurel, who is not on social media, suggested a way we could see one another this Easter Sunday.
We posted an announcement asking people to share Easter pictures on Facebook. Then, as they posted those pictures, we shared them on our Church Facebook Page.
You can see them — even if you don’t have a Facebook account. Just click here:

If you have a picture that you would like me to post on our Facebook page, you’re welcome to text or email it to me and I will put it on the church Facebook page so that people will receive your Easter greeting.
May you have a blessed remainder of your Easter Sunday.
