1. Presidential Posts … By Madison Hey guys! Well, I know we’re all ready for summer, but hang in there. Enjoy these last weeks of school (I know, I know …It’s school!) because you’r e not going to be able to live them again. Don’t take this time for granted. I’ll end on the words of Kenney Chesney, “ Don’t Blink.” Don’t Forget!!! *Every Wednesday morning, meet us at the Flagpole!! * Also, our next meeting will be all music, so if you would like to contribute let us know before April 3. B & C’s Business… By Breanna and Carolyn *Did you remember to keep the softball and baseball players in prayer?

God wants good things for us! *Praise: JV and V girls’ basketball and boys’ basketball had a great season. Praise: We raised a bunch of $$ for the March of Dimes this year! Pray that it will be used wisely. Kara’s Korner… Written by Kara Wireman Do you honestly love everybody that you say, “I love you” to? When Jesus says, “I love you”, He means it. He loves us so much that He died on the cross for everyone, whether they spat on Him or hated Him. He did this without complaining. When you love someone, you not only feel it with your heart, but also, you feel it in your soul. Depending on what relationship you have with that person, you may feel differently. For instance, a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship is one where that person is all you seem to think about. When you really love someone, you think you would do anything for them. Jesus did this and more for us. Don’t we owe Him our thoughts and appreciation for this? Shouldn’t we think on Him all the time? Would you give your life for Jesus? I thank Him for giving up His life, because He loved me. Wow! He means everything to me. I am sorry for the worldly things that I tend to put before Him. I love Jesus right back!! Do you? JR. BASIC NEWS at the cross March, 2009 Brandon’s Songs… “Let it Rain” by Michael W. Smith Let it rain, let it rain. Open the floodgates of Heaven. (repeat) The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad Let the distant shores rejoice Clouds and thick darkness surround him Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne A fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side His lightning lights up the world The earth sees and trembles The mountains melt like wax before the Lord Before the Lord of all the earth The Heavens proclaim His righteousness And all peoples will see His Glory We want to see Your Glory, God! Do you want to see His Glory? Lift your voices, lift your hands! Let it rain, let it rain. Open the floodgates of Heaven (repeat) Sierra’s Surprises… “Love” Love is the tie that can never be broken. Even at times when hurts are unspoken. Love can bring out the hurt deep inside. Love can comfort the small faint cry Of a heart that is broken in a need of repair. Love has now awoken the inner depth we share. Feelings are futile when being compared. To real, genuine love that is evident here. Written by: M.S. Lowndes Joanna’s Studies: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
