The ministers of the Kings Mountain Minis- terial Association have planned to lead in sev- eral community services in the coming weeks prior to the celebration of our Lord's glorious Resurrec- tion on that first Easter morning. However, be- fore the Resurrection of our Lord, there was the Cross in which our Lord gave Himself for our re- demption. Therefore, the ministers have entitled this series of services "Journey to the Cross" focusing on the question "Were You There?" The services will be held on Wednesdays at 12 noon in several of your local churches. Be- cause of the continual existence of covid in our area, there will be no fel- lowship meals following the services. The first service will be on Wednesday, Febru- ary 22, at Central United Methodist Church at 12 noon. Listed below is a com- plete schedule of the ser- vice dates, the host churches, and the ministers who will bring the messages. Wednesday, Febru- ary 22—Central United Methodist Church; Rev. Randy Patterson, Pas- tor, Dixon Presbyterian Church Wednesday, March 1 — B o y c e M e m o - rial Presbyterian ARP Church; Rev.

KM Community Worship Services (2nd Part of "INTIMACY WITH GOD" Series) Do you have people in your life that only come around when they want something? They never call or check on you to see how you are doing. They don't even take a moment to consider your needs, before they are asking for financial assistance or a favor. It certainly leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Un- fortunately, I believe that more often than we would like to admit, we treat our relationship with the Lord the same way. We come to him when we need him, but don't seek him to discover his desires. Are we that self-centered? I present an eye-opening challenge for you: For the next seven days, track how often you spend alone with God and audio record the prayers that you pray. Are the prayers only about what God can do for you and your family - the spiritual grocery list? Did you find out God's plans? Have you praised God for who he is and thanked him for what he has already done? Also, assess how much of your energy is spent on social media, texting, and other activities that could be re- placed with spiritual inter- actions with the Lord. You may be surprised at what you discover. Quality Time Quality time is a spe- cial period of time that you plan to spend with God concentrating on him and enjoying his Presence. If we are too busy to do that, we have become too busy! Jesus demonstrated this truth of the importance of pri- oritizing prayer and alone time with the Father. In Matthew 14:23 (ESV) it says, "And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the moun- tain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone." Also, in Mark 1:35 (NIV) it says, "Very early in the morn- ing, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed." You don't have to take 10 hours to pray and study the word. Qui- eting your mind and heart to wholeheartedly focus on the Lord is the goal. Schedule a specific place and time to meet with our Heavenly Father every- day. It may be in your car or even in the bathroom etc. Some like to connect with the Lord early in the morning, others right be- fore bed or on their lunch break. Whatever you decide, I guarantee you won't regret it. PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Father, you are mag- nificent in all your ways. I love to come before your presence. May my prayer be set before you like in- cense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. For- give me for not consis- tently meeting with you because I was too tired, busy or distracted. Help me to remember that you love me and desire to fellowship with me. May I learn to look to your strength and seek your face always. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen." Danyale Patterson would love to hear from you!
