Teachers, face painters, bounce house volunteers, food table, those who can set up, and clean up, etc. Also posted is a list of items needed for that day (food, snacks, etc).

Information regarding TRCC:
 
Psalm 19:1
“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the skies proclaim His handiwork.”
Dawn is the beautiful moment which marks the beginning of twilight just before the sun rises, illuminating the sky in beautiful colors. Dawn is the moment when night turns into day.
God brings the sun up at His command. Luke 1:78-79
“A new day will dawn. God guides us into peace.”
His creation each morning is breathtaking as the earth wakes up. Dawn brings a fascinating phenomena that is called the “green flash”, a quick burst of green light seen just before sunrise.
This green ray is visible just above the sun for 1-2 seconds as it rises above the horizon.
Sometimes fog or mist makes dawn look hazy as if in a dream. People have also witnessed beautiful halos and rainbows when conditions are right. God’s handiwork paints every dawn uniquely spectacular in its own way.
Dawn happens when the earth rotates and spins on its axis. As it turns, different places get light from the sun. When the sun is just below the horizon, it creates the soft morning glow that is seen by the naked eye.
During dawn, the Earth wakes up. Birds wake up…
Flowers begin to open…
A new day has begun, all by God’s mercy and grace.
and below the sea where we cannot see, God’s majesty prevails.
Mankind has deemed that there are 3 different kinds of dawn: Civil (when it’s bright enough for people to see without lights), Nautical dawn (when sailors can start to see the horizon) and Astronomical dawn is when the stars start to disappear from the sky.
God, our CREATOR, doesn’t need dawn to be labeled, for He CREATED the DAWN.
We do not deserve a new day after what mankind did to our Lord. The crucifixion of Jesus as recorded in Matthew Chapters 27 & 28 brings us to our knees. Yet Jesus loving and reassuring words in Matthew 28:20 “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
God desires for everyone to be saved. 1 Timothy 2:4
Each and every dawn is an important time, for it is a NEW DAY, blessed by God.
Ecosystems thrive because of this daily cycle, making dawn essential for life to exist on Earth.
All by the glory of our Father in Heaven.
May we stand in AWE of our CREATOR!
“Blessed be your glorious name,
and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.
You alone are the LORD,
You made the heavens, even the highest heavens,
and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it,
the seas and all that is in them.
You give life to everything,
and the multitudes of heaven worship you.”
The Prophet Jeremiah wrote Lamentations in a time of grief and national mourning, after Jerusalem fell to Babylon. The book of Lamentations describes great anguish – and in Chapter 3:1 great hope.
“Yet this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope.”
Even in our darkest times, God is faithful. Every day in which the sun rises, God shows His mercy and compassion.
Lamentations 3:22-23 tells us about the LORD’s “great love” or steadfast love in some translations.
God never stopped loving Israel, in spite of His disciplining them.
The Hebrew word translated “great love” is used about 250 times in the Old Testament; it refers to love, and of course, also encompasses elements of grace, mercy, goodness, forgiveness, compassion and faithfulness. The particular Hebrew word used in Lamentations 3:22 has to do with tender love, great and tender mercy, or pity. That same word is used in Isaiah 63:7 and translated “compassion”.
“I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD,
the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the LORD has done for us-
yes, the many good things he has done for Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses.”
GOD’S mercies are new every morning!
GOD is unchanging. He is the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.“
The dawning of every new day is God’s light breaking through the darkness and His mercy overcoming our troubles, for we have incredible hope.
Every morning we receive GOD’s compassion and His grace.
No matter how we are weighted down by life, or what our challenges may be, God is faithful through it all. Isaiah 40:30-31
Praise GOD that His forgiveness is always available through Christ! 1 John 1:8-9
In Jesus Christ we have the fullest expression of God’s mercy and compassion.
2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
Matthew 14:14 “When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed those who were ill.”
GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS
God’s mercies are NEW every morning.
God feeds every bird of the air and clothes all the lilies of the field and His care for us is beyond that…
Matthew 6:24-34
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
PRAISE HIM & KEEP SINGING:
GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS
Great is thy faithfulness,
O God, my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee.
Thou changest not,
Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been,
Thou forever wilt be.
Great is Thy Faithfulness!
Great is Thy Faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided:
Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord unto Thee!
Summer and winter,
and spring-time and harvest,
Sun, Moon and stars in their courses a-bove,
Join with all nature in manifold witness,
Tis thy great faithfulness,
mercy and love.
Great is Thy Faithfulness!
Great is Thy Faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided:
Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord unto Thee!
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide:
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy Faithfulness!
Great is Thy Faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided:
Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord unto Thee!
THE STEADFAST LOVE OF THE LORD
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end;
They are new every morning,
Great is Thy Faithfulness,
“The LORD is my portion” says my soul,
“Therefore I will hope, in Him.”
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end;
They are new every morning,
Great is Thy Faithfulness,
“The LORD is my portion” says my soul,
“Therefore I will hope, in Him.”
Every new dawn is an incredible GIFT from God.
May we make Him be our portion forever and place our hope in Him.
To God be the glory great things He hath done.
Bruce & Paula
