My Dear Friends in Christ, Wow! It seems in just a blink of an eye we are now counting down the days to spring! In less than four weeks we will be seeing buds and flowers replacing snow on trees and bushes. I must say, this winter has been quite challenging! It is with great anticipation I mention to you that this year we will be introducing a new Easter Production. It is an original drama called "The Meeting Place". We pray this production will cause you to reflect on the faithfulness of Jesus. That no matter what circumstance you are in... no matter what storm or journey you are going through...Jesus is with you. From the time Jesus was resurrected from death... He has been here for you. Even in your darkest hour you will encounter His love for you. So, I invite you to come... witness a great cast that has been diligently practicing ... in drama, song, dance, signing and mime! "The Meeting Place" is age appropriate for children ages 6 and up. Performances for "The Meeting Place" are held on April 1 and 2 at 7:30 PM and on Saturday, April 3, at noon, which will be followed by our annual Easter Eggstravangza Carnival and Egg Hunt. Free Admission! I also want to invite you to attend our Resurrection Sunday Service on April 4 at either 8:30 or 11:00 a.m. Till then, may our Lord richly bless you and yours. In His Service, Pastor Bill and Lynna |

| SLOW TO ANGER The Lord is slow to anger and great in power. Nahum 1:3 Jehovah "is slow to anger." When mercy comes into the world, she drives winged horses; the axles of her chariot-wheels are red-hot with speed. But when wrath goes forth, it toils on with tardy footsteps, for God takes no pleasure in the sinner's death. God's rod of mercy is always in His hands outstretched; His sword of justice is in its scabbard, held down by that pierced hand of love that bled for the sins of men. "The LORD is slow to anger" because He is "great in power." He is truly great in power who has power over himself. When God's power restrains Himself, then it is power indeed: The power that binds omnipotence is omnipotence surpassed. A man who has a strong mind can bear to be insulted and only resents the wrong when a sense of right demands his action. The weak mind is irritated at a little; the strong mind bears it like a rock that doesn't move though a thousand breakers dash upon it and cast their pitiful malice in spray upon its summit. God marks His enemies, and yet He bestirs not Himself but holds in His anger. If He were less divine than He is, He would long have since sent forth the whole of His thunders and emptied the cannons of heaven; He would have long ago blasted the earth with the wondrous fires of its lower regions, and man would have been utterly destroyed. But the greatness of His power brings us mercy. Dear reader, what is your condition this evening? Can you by humble faith look to Jesus and say, "My substitute, You are my rock, my trust"? Then, beloved, do not be afraid of God's power; for if by faith you have fled to Christ for refuge, the power of God need no more terrify you than the shield and sword of the warrior need terrify those whom he loves. Rather rejoice that He who is "great in power" is your Father and Friend Devotional material taken from "Morning and Evening" by C.H. Spurgeon. |

| The Kids Fine Arts Program has been moving forward this year as kids learn to worship God using drums and their voices. Their committed practicing every Sunday night has paid off with two wonderful performances. In early January, the choir set the bar high for themselves with a great performance of “Clap Your Hands”. Thanks to the determined efforts of Ms. Antoinette Wilson, the choir sounded wonderful as they praised God and delighted the congregation. On February 21st, the Drum Line performed for the first time during the Sunday morning services, taking everyone by surprise with their incredible performance Kirk Franklin’s “I Like Me”. Mr. Ed Hill tirelessly trained the kids and taught each part, and the kids offered excellent worship before the congregation. We are looking forward to the upcoming KFC performances for Easter and other events. Thank you so much Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Hill for all your hard work! |

Many thanks to Pastor Bill Robert’s, our Christ Chapel Family, and our Supporter’s, without you all we would not have been able to
make it to conference in February. Your support means the world to us, as well as your continuous prayers as we continue to press on
in this Master’s year.
The Conference took place this year at the Dallas-Plano Convention Center. Though God moved in every service there was one in
particular that stood out and had an impact on our entire team. Pastor Dan Vera, from the Christian Worship Center of San Jose,
spoke to us all about “Dreams.” He began with reading only the first part of Genesis 37:5 which said, “Now Joseph had a dream,”
(ESV). Afterwards he had us replace Joseph’s name with our name. As you continue to read on, please take a moment and do the
same, truly keeping that in the forefront of your mind.
Pastor Dan touched on a few simple things to keep the dream that God has given us alive:
1.Your dreams will never be valid until you speak them
2. You cannot move into the next, until you deal with the now
3. Your position does not change God’s favor on you

As he continued to speak, it became a realization to us that God has embedded a dream in, each and every one of us. So, no matter
what you may be facing currently in your life, KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE. If you have not arrived at one yet, keep it in prayer and
remember, God’s time is always the right time.

To our Christ Chapel Family: Sharon and I are very excited to once again come to Christ Chapel in March 14-17. We sense in our hearts that the Lord is preparing us for a tremendous time in His presence. It is going to be a week of Soaking Glory and transformational power. We encourage you to mark your calendar and clear it as much as possible and join us at every meeting, Sunday through Wednesday. Together we will pursue the presence of God in a very real and special way. We are seeing people every week gloriously saved, touched, delivered and healed in meetings across this nation. Here are just a few testimonies of what God has done in recent weeks: Dozen's responded to the call of salvation and repentance in OH recently. A lady in intense pain before a meeting in OR was wearing both a back and leg brace and walking with a cane because of an accident. She had several surgeries and in constant pain. The Lord healed her in a miraculous way during a time of soaking worship. Another lady in LA was healed of diverticulitis and chronic bladder infections. Both her parents gave their hearts to Jesus as a result. Multitudes have been baptized in the Holy Spirit as well. God's Spirit is moving in a mighty way. If God can do it is Ohio, Louisiana, Oregon and elsewhere, why not in Woodbridge, VA? Begin to prepare your heart for a glorious time in God. Identify the areas of need in your life and present them to the Lord in faith. Ask Him to lead you to people you can invite to be a part of these services; those lost without a Savior, those hurting inside and out, those in need of direction and purpose for their lives, anyone with a need. Did you know that God is attracted to your need? He is ready to touch your life in His powerful way. We look forward to see you in March and join us even now as we pray for a wonderful soul harvest and spiritual breakthrough in many lives! Together for God's Glory Rudi & Sharon www.godsglory.org |
