CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Isaiah 40:31 -But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

YHC discussed running the Knoxville Half Marathon and how there’s so much support along the way in addition to the various marathon-related Bible verses that people display on the route. Sometimes the “run and not grow weary” bit can seem cheesy, but it was very applicable and motivating – even if YHC didn’t feel like it at the time.

More importantly though, we should focus on the “those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength” during this Lenten season as we approach Easter and the Cross.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
May 4 – Powell High School 5K. Get with Herbie for questions.
May 18 – Hardship Hill – there’s still room to sign up!!!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

MOLESKIN:
Frasier led us in a quick devotional: Rest, Respect, Reliance. Isaiah 40: 28-31 “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not grow faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

Lots of prayers around for our families and our fellow PAX. Continue to lift one another up.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Hardship Hill is May 18!! Let’s see how many PAX we can get to sign up. If we don’t have enough for a full 5-hour team, we can merge with Brickyard or Big Ball as needed.
