Stonebriar Announcements
"Stonebriar Community Church exists to celebrate and share the love of God as we grow together to become fully-devoted followers of Jesus Christ."
"The measure of a man is not what he speaks, but rather what captures his heart and moves him to action"
Feeding the Homeless: Thanks to all who continue to participate in
ministering to the homeless. Many have been prayed for, testimonies have been
shared, food, clothing and toiletries have been distributed, hearts are touched,
and God smiled…The next opportunity to minister will be Sunday, April 27th. God
bless you as you as you continue to serve Him in this life-changing ministry!

Adult Study Group: Each Sunday morning at 9:45 AM a group of adults come together in "The Gathering Place" for a time of fellowship and Bible study. It is a wonderful opportunity to dive deeper into God's Word in an informal atmosphere, catch-up on the happenings of the week and enjoy time together as we learn. This group is facilitated by Pastor Scott and offers new insights into Biblical truth. There's always a fresh cup of coffee and generally something with refined sugar and white flour (donut) to eat! For the next few months we will continue in the study of the book of Isaiah - this week in Chapter 22. Join us next Sunday at 9:45 AM! Come Expectantly!

Ask anyone who has been with us what is going on and you will hear that God is doing something extraordinary. It is a God-thing - come be a part of it this Wednesday.

Men of Stonebriar Prayer Ministry: Men, join us Saturday, April 19th, for prayer. This time together continues to grow - both in numbers, and, most importantly, in relevance, as we meet together to pray for our personal relationship with Christ, matters of the church, and for each other. We meet at 7:00 AM at the church. Come and go as you are able. This has quickly become one of the highlights of church-life for some of our men - it is worth the effort!

Military Members / Family Members: God has provided a wonderful opportunity for us to minister to those from our church family serving our country in the military. We have three young men who are currently on active duty who would love to have notes of encouragement, goodie packages, emails, etc. It’s important they know they are not forgotten. There is a sheet on the Information Table in the Foyer that lists the names, physical and email addresses, etc. Please take a moment to pray for these men and, as God leads, encourage them through your notes and cards.

Adoption of Guatemalan Children: Stonebriar has given birth to twins! A girl Erminia Oloroso Perez, and a boy, Andres Oloroso Perez. They belong to a Christian family of 8 that live in a palm hut. The father Guadalupe Oloroso does odd jobs around the village trying to earn a living doing whatever he can. He earns approximately $6 per week / $25 per month......many months not even that. That works out to less than a dollar a day to feed 8 people! The mother's name is Soila Perez de Oloroso. More information, and hopefully pictures, will be coming in the next few weeks. Thanks for extending yourselves to this family. We hope to one day visit with them in person either here in the States or in Guatemala. Stonebriar’s monthly obligation to assist this family is $60.00. Please pray for God to touch Erminia, Andres, Soila and Guadalupe. If you would like to financially assist this family, please make out a check to Stonebriar and in the memo section write: Guatemalan Children. Thanks!
