How to have

In
everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let
your requests be made known unto God.
And the PEACE OF GOD which passes all understanding shall
keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus……Phil. 4:6
How to have
hope:
For everything that was written in
the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and
the encouragement of the Scriptures, WE MIGHT HAVE HOPE…..Rom.
15:4
We live between two awesome historical events in the history of our world.
1.
The coming of Christ in Grace
2.
The coming of Christ In Glory
Between
these two major events, GOD IS ACTIVE IN THE HUMAN RACE HE
CREATED AND LOVES.
God loves us even though and when we reject His love and turn
from His loving and merciful pursuit.
Titus
2:11-13

Some important added things this year for
our spring tea… call us
if you have questions.
The Hephzibah
House Doors will open at 11:30 for a HOUSE TOUR.
The only rooms inaccessible will be those occupied by
guests here for the tea…this has been a request for some time…so
this is the day!
When you climb
to the FOURTH
FLOOR---ROOM 44, YOU WILL SEE A COLLECTION OF TEA POTS. Lois
Ewald is selling her collection AND THE TOTAL PROCEEDS WILL BE
GIVEN TO HEPHZIBAH HOUSE TO HELP FUND AIR CONDITIONING.
Some of these teapots are very old, some
clever, some just cute,
some lovely, some practical…you might even want to do some early
Christmas shopping.
Refreshments
will be served starting at 1:00 PM…a
variety of international desserts besides our wonderful
Hephzibah House Tea.
In fact if you would like
to bring something to share at our tea that day, mark it with
the dessert name and country…most welcome!
Our music will be
none other than Esther Hinds, a Metropolitan Opera Soprano who
has sung around the world…but who also sings for the glory of
her Lord Jesus Christ.
She will be accompanied by Karen Occhiogrosso, a most
talented and gifted pianist.
You will be
encouraged by our speaker, Pamela Gardner, who, with her husband
serves Ambassadors For Christ Int.
I asked her to bring some copies of her wonderful book,
Distressed But Not Destroyed, which will be available for
purchase. Some years
ago she wrote an excellent teaching brochure:
10 STEPS TO
HANDLING ADVERSITY.
She will be speaking from this topic and you will have a copy.
You will not want to miss
this special day…this special Tea.
We do not charge, but
donations are helpful in meeting our expenses.
Thank you.
