Inspiration
The “longer" you look at this picture, the "more" you see.
Look at the lines the artist used to draw this picture of Christ. There are scenes from Christ's life.
Be ye fishers of men. You catch them and He will clean them.
Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.
God doesn't call the qualified He qualifies the called.
The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.
We do not change the message the message changes us.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him.

PLASTIC STORAGE CONTAINERS
We will be in need of plastic storage containers for our supplies, books, equipment, etc. when we move out of the classrooms at the end of the school year. We are asking parents to consider donating plastic storage containers (with lids) to the school for the summer. You can either donate the storage containers or label them with your name so that they can be returned at the beginning of the school year. These containers may be brought to school anytime. Please contact your child’s teacher or the school office if you have questions.

April 6th @ 7PM Seven Facts About Calcium That you Never Knew
Americans swallow calcium supplements by the truckload. Virtually every woman over forty is taking extra calcium. It is easily the number one selling mineral supplement in the country, but most of us are wasting our time and money. Come learn why, and learn how you can begin to benefit from supplemental calcium.
April 20th @7PM Starving For Fat
We are fat, and we are starving for fat. The desire to lose a few pounds has pushed many of people into a diet that is low in fat; these diets are dangerous. Come and learn the importance of consuming fats. Learn what fats to avoid and what fats to consume liberally. Come and see why fat is our friend.
May 4th @7PM My Grandma Used to Eat Livers, Kidneys and Tripe… Yuck!
Ever wonder why she lived to be 100? Come and learn why these nutritionally dense foods do more to promote health than just provide a lot of vitamins and minerals. This class is not candy-coated-easy-to-understand information. Bring a pen and paper and have your thinking cap on. If you do, you will be rewarded. Understanding how to apply this knowledge could save your life.
All seminars are being held at the Elmwood Public Library. Walk-ins are welcome, but we would prefer to know that you are coming.
