Due to low participation we have decided to suspend the Share Grocery Ministry for the present time until we have prayed and sought the Lord as to how we may better serve our community. Your feedback is welcome. Email Pastor Pete coudyfmc@gmail.com
This is a reminder that our SUNDAY SERVICE THIS WEEK MAY 6TH, will be at the SPOT at 10am. There will be no Sunday School. Helpers to setup please come at 9am.
THIS IS A CELEBRATION SERVICE TO BURN OUR MORTGAGE AND PRAISE GOD FOR HIS PROVISION.
Pastor Pete
Dear Family in the Lord,
I wanted to share the great news of God’s provision with you. Tuesday evening I received a call to meet someone at the Church at about 9pm.
I did so. At that brief meeting, I was handed a check for $15,000.00 to be used to pay off the mortgage we have for the SPOT, and the remainder to be used for the building fund.
You may recall that we purchased the over 8.5 acres with buildings on Route 6 (that we now call THE SPOT) in August of 2007. God gave us a great deal on this property which was originally priced at $129,000, for only $80,000. We were able to provide a down-payment of $20,000. The Keystone Conference loan fund graciously loaned us the remaining $60,000 on a 10 year note. Praise the Lord! He has provided so we are able now to pay off the mortgage at less than half that agreed upon time. GOD IS GOOD!
I have often sat back in wonder at what God has allowed us to do as we serve Him. We support missionary work at $20,000 per year. We have improved God’s properties that He has given us stewardship of far beyond expectations or belief. We have grown as a congregation both in number and spiritually. That spiritual growth is evidenced by the heart of our family to serve Jesus in many, many ways according to their gifts.
At our Annual Society Meeting this year, we determined to pay off the mortgage in 2012, place our existing property up for sale and move our worship services to the SPOT in 2013. These certainly were faith goals – goals we had to depend on the Lord to perform. The heart of this move is not simply facilities and numbers. The heart of this move is service. We are at capacity in our present facility, given the parking availability, seating capacity, and ministry potential. Because we love Jesus our Lord, and because we desire to bring people into the Family of God and nurture them in the faith, we need to expand our potential. The SPOT, with 8 plus acres will give us that opportunity. Certainly we will be trusting God for greater things than these in the days ahead. But what an adventure is before us!
Thank you to all who have given sacrificially to make this possible. Thank you to the Keystone Conference and our Leadership for your support. Rejoice with us brothers and sisters in Christ.
Pam and I will be enjoying our annual Ministers Institute of the Northeast this coming week as well as some special time together from April 22 through the 30th. Of course we will enjoy Mother’s Day on May 13th. Therefore we will be planning a great celebration on SUNDAY MAY 6 at the SPOT for a time of PRAISE to our matchless GOD. On May 6th we will not have Sunday School. We will meet at the SPOT for worship at 10am. as well as a POTLUCK LUNCH.
We would like to invite a representative from the Keystone Conference and our District to join us, bring greetings and share our celebration.
REJOICE! THE LORD IS KING!
In Christ,
Pastor Pete Tremblay

PART #1 CREATION HEALTH
Creation Health Ministry
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?
What does God’s Word say about health?
Shouldn’t discipleship include the body and the mind as well as the spirit?
GOD’S WORD DECLARES that you were born to live life to the fullest through the CREATION Health Lifestyle principles. Jesus said, “…I have come that they may live life to the fullest.” -John 10:10. All of life is important to Jesus. You are important to Jesus.
God offers abundant life to anyone who wants to be fully alive today and forevermore. The Greek word He used for life is “zoe”, which means the absolute fullness of life…genuine life…a life that is active, satisfying, and filled with joy.
This is why CREATION Health takes a life-transforming approach to total person wellness — mentally, physically and spiritually — with eight universal principles of health.
People just like you are making a few simple changes in their lives and living longer, fuller lives. They are staying very healthy and are able to do the things they love well into their later years. Isn’t it time to start?
Together will will learn 8 principles of abundant health; encourage and support one another in making small, but real changes – a few at a time – towards the goal of health in Jesus of body, mind and spirit.

A SPECIAL SCREENING OF THE DOCUMENTARY: “FORKS OVER KNIVES”
IN RESPONSE TO RISING HEART DISEASE, OBESITY, DIABETES, AND CANCER COMES A PROFOUND MESSAGE OF HOPE “FORKS OVER KNIVES”
Featuring T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Caldwell Esselstyn, M.D
New York City (June 7, 2011) – America is suffering from a health epidemic – Heart disease, cancer and stroke are the country’s three leading causes of death and the medicines prescribed to remedy these and other diseases cost this country over 120 billion dollars each year. Recent research proves there is a correlation between these deadly diseases and the amount of meat, dairy and processed foods consumed. The research from two world-renowned experts, biochemist and co-author of The China Study, Dr. T. Colin Campbell Ph.D., and internationally-acclaimed physician and author of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., convinced former president Bill
Clinton to treat his heart disease in a new way, which led to the life-changing documentary,
To further support the uncovered evaluations, the film also follows the journey of real patients who are diagnosed with chronic conditions from heart disease to diabetes. Viewers are given a first-hand look at their shocking physical and medical transformations after each patient adopts a whole food, plant-based diet.

“Forks Over Knives is a powerful statement on the future of nutrition as the premiere biomedical intervention for disease prevention and reversal,” states T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. The film also provides conversations with: Neal Barnard, M.D.; Junshi Chen, Ph.D.; Connie B. Diekman, Med, RD, FADA; David Klurfeld, Ph.D; Matthew Lederman,
M.D.; Alona Pulde, M.D.; Doug Lisle, Ph.D.; Terry Mason, M.D.; John McDougall, M.D.; Pam Popper, N.D; Gene Baur; Mac Danzig; Rip Esselstyn; and Ruth Heidrich.
FORKS OVER KNIVES was featured recently on Real Time with Bill Maher, and received special attention on “The Dr. Oz Show” earlier this year when film experts T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., Caldwell Esselstyn, M.D., Neal Barnard, M.D., Rip Esselstyn, and filmmaker Lee Fulkerson all appeared on the show.
FORKS OVER KNIVES – SYNOPSIS
Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict Americans can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline traces the personal journeys of Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional scientist from Cornell University, and Dr. Caldwell
Esselstyn, Jr., a former top surgeon at the world renowned Cleveland Clinic. Inspired by remarkable discoveries in their young careers, these men conducted several groundbreaking studies and their separate research led them to the same startling conclusion; degenerative diseases like heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and even several forms of cancer, could almost always be prevented – and in many cases reversed – by adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet. In addition, cameras follow real-life patients who have chronic conditions from heart disease to Diabetes. Doctors teach these patients how to adopt a whole food, plant-based diet as the primary approach to treat these ailments—while the challenges and triumphs of their journeys are revealed.
