MAKE THE MOST OF APRIL


"Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family". - Kofi Annan.

Hello dear friend,
We welcome you into the month of April. We hope that this month marks a positive and significant change in your life. We also pray for you, that God will continually keep, guide and lead you.


BOOK OF THE MONTH
In the month of April, we will be reading two books:

1. "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren.

This book is more than just words. "It's a guide to a 40-day spiritual journey that will enable you to discover the answer to life's most important question: What on earth am I here for? By the end of this journey you will know God's purpose for your life and will understand the big picture-------how all the pieces of your life fit together.


Having this perspective will reduce your stress, simplify your decisions, increase your satisfaction, and, most important, prepare you for eternity". (p. 9)


2. "Be anxious for nothing" by Joyce Meyer

Difficult times, trials, and tribulation are part of living in this world. However, God has provided a way for us to enjoy peace as a part of daily life.



We can choose either to allow ourselves to be burdened with worry and anxiety or to live in the peace and joy the Father intended. Find out in this book how to really draw on the peace of God in the midst of negative circumstances.
