Pastor Thompson’s Sermon “A One Word Invitation”
MARCH 2010 MINISTRY MEETINGS
It is the vision of Mt. Olive to be a church that is intentional in its efforts to identify and meet the needs of broken, hurt and oppressed people in the greater Glen Allen area through the message and ministry of Jesus Christ. From the Pastor’s Desk
Ephesians 5:18­21 (NKJV) 18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another in the fear of God. The main issue is not how much of the Spirit you have, but how much He has of you. The Holy Spirit must be given the place in your life that He wants and deserves to have. Love, Pastor Thompson

THIS WEEK’S :
CLASSES FROM KINDERGARTEN TO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DAILY BIBLE READING
“A COMMUNITY TO REDEEM”
Jonah 3:10­4:5 God responded positively to the repentance of the Ninevites. Because the people of Nineveh were the Israelites' enemies, Jonah responded to God’s forgiveness of Nineveh with anger. He did not want to accept God’s will. However, Jonah came to realize that God is sovereign )in control of things in the world) and God’s way of dealing with others differs from our. He also learned that God’s steadfast love abounds to all. ·
MONDAY: A Shared Experience John 20:24­29 ·
TUESDAY: A shared Reward 1 Samuel 30:21­31 ·
WEDNESDAY: A Shared Advantage Luke 3:10­14 March 21, 2010
“FAMILY AS COMMUNITY” Ruth 1:1­9, 14b 16 Because his own community experienced famine, Elimelech and his fam­ ily moved to a foreign Community, Moab. But when Elimelech and his two sons died, for support, his wife Naomi decided to return to her origi­ nal community, Judah. Ruth her daughter­in­law, forsook her own native community of Moab to remain with her mother­in­law and moved to Judah as well. She also made a loving commitment to her mother­in­law and accepted Naomi’s God as her God.

Mount Olive Baptist Church
Prayer, Praise and Meditation Garden The members, ministries and friends of Mount Olive Baptist Church are being offered an opportunity to capture our spiritual journey of praise and thanksgiving. An area between the Multi­purpose facility and the Sanctuary has been designated as a Prayer, Praise and Meditation Garden. This area will feature engraved brick pavers placed in memory, honor, celebration and encouragement of the life of a loved one. Additionally, pavers will recognize a birth, christening, baptism, wedding anniversary and event or favorite scripture. This on­ going project will secure donations to fund the installation of the garden as well as support for the building fund. The garden will contain 840 pavers creating a lasting memory to recognize loved ones, special events and our walk of faith within the Mount Olive Family. The engraved pavers are available in two sizes. The 4”x 8” paver can be purchased for $150.00 and the 8” x 8” will cost $300.00. 8” x 8” center pavers, which will surround the two cornerstones from previous church structures, will be available for $500.00. Each paver must be paid in full at the time of purchase. For additional information, please pick up a paver brochure from the information table outside of the church office. Paver orders will be received after each morning services through May 30 th . If you have any questions concerning the project, you may contact any member of the committee listed below. Jean Barber­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­264­5806 Charlene Bazemore­­­­­527­2870 Julia Galloway­­­­­­­­­­­­732­5356 Cherrie Henderson­­­­­­266­3374 Eula Jones­­­­­­­­­­­­­­747­9635 Joyce Libron­­­­­­­­­­­­355­1874 Rosiland Ruffin­­­­­­­­­321­5322 In recognition of and being sensitive to the needs and concerns of the congregation, pavers may be

How To Accept Jesus
Christ into Your Heart Perhaps while reading the announcements you realized you have never made a Christian commitment. Don’t delay that decision! We encourage you to embrace God’s love today and receive the salvation that only Jesus Christ gives. Here are five simple steps you can take to find assurance of salvation. 1. Recognize your need. The Bible tell us that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:23) All of us are sinners, and we must admit our need for a Savior. 2. Repent of your sins. Our sins create a wall that separates us from God. By con­ fessing our sins and turning from them, you will find forgiveness. The Bible prom­ ises: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). 3. Believe in Jesus. God sent His only Son to die so that He could pay for all our sins. Put your faith in Him and believe in His power to save you. The Bible says, ‘“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life’” (John 3:16). 4. Receive His salvation. God has given us a great gift in His Son, but we must re­ ceive His gift. Thank Him for loving and forgiving you, and ask Him to live in your heart. His promise to us is clear: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12). 5. Confess your faith. The Bible assures us: “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Rom. 10:9). You have been born again and are now part of God’s family. Tell someone else what Jesus has done in your life!
Do you really “know” what love is?
Maybe? / Maybe Not?
All of us talk about love. We tell others that we love them, but as songwriter & rapper, Eve put it, “Love is Blind. It will take over your mind. What you think is love it’s truly not, you need to elevate and find”… Knowing what real love is requires us to look to God for the answers for He is love. Do you know what love is? If you do “know,” come out and be a blessing. If you don’t, come and be blessed. WHERE: Golden Corral 4050 Gaskins Road, Glen Allen, VA 23060 WHEN: March 25, 2010, 6 p.m. FOR WHOM: All singles… male and female FOR WHAT: Open forum and discussion on what love is from God’s perspective, so that we can love others like God love’s them. Please RSVP, Sis. Marcia Hart, by March 18, 2010 @[email protected] or 540­907­9931 DEACONESS MINISTRY The Nellie W. Crump­Thomas Scholarship Fund
