The Presby Post

On Sunday, April 6 some of our members, along with Pastor Cobb, will be traveling to the Presbyterian Church of Woodbury , which is hosting a program” The Soul of Sudan.” Speaker Bill Andress and Rev. Dr. Betsy McCormick will tell us about their work in Sudan over the last 12 years. Your presence will be the ultimate prayer for their ministry and the needs of these most desperate people. The program is from 2 to 5 pm and light refreshments will be served. Please contact Pastor Cobb or Alice Smith if you would like to join us.

The April Good News is scheduled to be mailed tomorrow. That's a bit later than usual due to the Easter holiday. We appreciate your patience. However – if you would like to sneak a peak it is available for reading/printing from our church website – absecon.presbychurch.org . Many thanks to Louise Speitel for maintaining this site for us over the years.

Anyone interested in becoming part of our current telephone prayer chain or a new email prayer group may call Gay Channell to be added to the list of contacts.

Please remember in prayer ~

He Is Here

Surprise! Surprise! The eleven apostles had gathered together on the day of Jesus' resurrection. They were discussing the strange happenings of the past few days, and had just listened to a report from two men who said they had seen Jesus. Suddenly He was there! Then the Savior said, "Peace to you" (Luke 24:36).

I wonder if we realize when we meet together—at church, in our home, in our prayer meetings, in our gatherings with friends—that Jesus is also there. He said, "Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). Do we really believe He is with us and listens to every word we say, and that He sees all we do?

Some scholars were discussing the great authors of the past. One asked, "What if Milton should suddenly enter the room?" "Ah!" replied another. "We would honor him and compensate him for the little recognition he received in his day." A third man commented, "What if Shakespeare entered? Would we not all stand and proclaim him King of the Poets?" Then someone ventured, "And if Jesus Christ should enter?" There was a long silence, until finally one said: "But gentlemen, He is here!"

Yes, remember that Jesus is here! He sees, He hears, and He knows!
