Ephesians 3:17b-19: And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Seed Packet

I love spring time!  I love seeing flowers getting their beautiful petals on them and all signs of life awakening after winter.  We have left you a seed packet so that you can go out and till up some dirt and plant pretty flowers.  And then you will get to see them grow!  Growth is such an important process.  The kids that passed these seed packets are children that attended our Vaction Bible School at our church.  They were given the verse from Ephesians 3:17b-18 ~ And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ ~ and they were taught what this verse means.  They were challenged to let Love Come to Life inside of them.  We planted a seed in them.  A seed to show others the love of Christ.  We wanted them to grasp how wide, long, high and deep Christ's love is for them.  They were given the challenge to pass out all 52 items in their reach one box to the community.  You were one of the special people that was reached.  We wanted these children to grow in Christ.  How does one grow?  To continually be in God's word, reading and living it out, and through prayer.  So, we challenge you to grow.  Whether you used to go to church and just stopped, we challenge you to find a church.  Sardis Baptist (the link is to the right) is always open with loving arms for visitors.  If you don't live near us, then find one that fits you and that can help you GROW!  Getting plugged in somewhere will help water you as you grow.  Saturate yourself in God's word!  We are getting geared up for this upcoming year's Vacation Bible School called the Switch.  You won't want to miss this!!  We are going to be pouring God's word into the hearts and homes to all the children that come.  We want to show them that they need to TRANSFORM themselves by renewing  their minds - by GROWING!
