Dear Friends,

I write this as the Happifaces Nursery School is saddened by the death of one of their students, Alyssa Buzzard. All of us here at the church remember Alyssa's smile, her love of the Bumble Bee song, and her friendship with all the children. Alyssa and her brothers and a friend were seriously injured in an automobile accident this week. Caden, her 7 year old brother, was a Happifaces student a couple of years ago.

We appreciate all the prayers for the Happiface students' families and Christine and Chrissy. We do ask that you continue to pray for the Buzzard family who live in Bradford.

Our strength comes from the Lord, our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of need. Jesus said in Matthew 19:14, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs."

For information about how parents can help in our care for children as tragedy comes to our lives, go to www.loveandlogic.com and click on "Parents Can Help Kids Cope with Tragedy." We are so grateful for our Happifaces Nursery School for their love and care and the sharing of so many children.

May God's love and blessings continue to strengthen and "bring joy in the morning".

Love,

Pastor Cindy

For our Dads:

"GreatDads reported an amazing statistic through a study they did involving the impact

and influence of men when they come into a relationship with Jesus Christ. They state:

1. If you lead 100 children to Christ, ultimately 3 families come to Christ.

2. If you lead 100 women to Christ, ultimately 17 families come to Christ.

3. But if you lead 100 men to Christ, ultimately 92 families come to Christ.

When a man comes to an authentic relationship with Jesus, transformation occurs in his life and the impact can have a rippling effect on his family, church, and community as well."

I have borrowed the above information from the Character That Counts Newsletter.

I share it as an affirmation for all you Dads who faithfully attend to growing your relationship with Jesus. Thank you for being at Worship with your families, Bible Study, teaching Sunday School, chaperoning at Youth Group, and holding yourself accountable by being in fellowship with other Christian men.

Happy Father's Day!

Pastor Cindy
