Why The Census Matters
It's Not Too Late To Send In Your 2010 Census Forms!
Census data, such as race, sex, age and educational level, directly affect African-Americans in virtually all decisions made in education, employment, veteran's services, public health care, transportation and housing. In addition to using the census data to develop, evaluate and implement programs, and to determine how to divvy-up more than $185 billion in funds each year, the federal government also uses census results to monitor and enforce compliance with civil rights statutes, including the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and employment, housing, lending, education and anti-discrimination laws. See Reverend Jackson for more information and help with the 2010 Census.
When
you fill out the census form, you’re making
a statement about what resources your
community needs going forward. Accurate data
reflecting changes in your community are
crucial in apportioning seats in the U.S.
House of Representatives and deciding how
more than $400 billion per year is allocated
for projects like new hospitals and schools.
That's more than $4 trillion over a 10-year
period for things like new roads and
schools, and services like job training
centers.

Financial Freedom
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” —Matthew 6:21
As Christians we are faced with the same kinds of struggles and challenges as anyone else, but sometimes we are reluctant to reach out for help. By addressing the underlying needs around these struggles and challenges, this ministry can help strengthen our congregation as a whole. This is how God will use this ministry to empower the body of Christ.
We all have a duty to be good managers over the blessings we have been given. The great misunderstanding is that we believe the way to have more is to hold on to what we have more tightly. A steward is a manager, not an owner. Give the first 10% of your income to your church. Even if money is tight because you're paying off your debt, you should still give something. The amount doesn't matter; blessing someone else is priceless.

Body and Spirit Book Club
Having a Mary Spirit:
Allowing God to Change Us from the
Inside Out
Our Book Club is now reading, “Michal” by Jill Eileen Smith. Next group discussion will be 7pm. Friday, April 23rd at Panera Bread on Powers. Contact Sherrie Thomas, Adrienne McMillian, or Tasara Fudge.
Devoted fans of Weaver's bestselling title, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, have waited some seasons for a follow-up worthy of this original Mary/Martha signature piece. According to Weaver, a six-month writing sabbatical morphed into six years while two children grew up, a third was born, church-building projects loomed large, relational miscommunications snowballed and inner chaos reigned. She admits that the tugs between flesh and spirit took their toll on her flagship message for Christian women to achieve life balance between the soulfully serene "Mary" and perfectionist "Martha." Weaver spends 16 delightfully entertaining and spiritually hefty chapters challenging and entreating women to allow God entrance to the heart's inner places for a "soul-surgery" of sorts. She discusses guarding one's heart from distractions and cynicism; bringing thoughts under control; honing a fearless, courageous attitude; and learning to adopt a discerning, malleable and servant-minded spirit. Weaver's insight is keen and far-reaching, patient and practical. Clearly, the substance of this material is neither new or unique, yet Weaver has a way of approaching even well-worn subject matter with a neighborliness that both charms and enthralls.
