9 Rise up, you women who are at ease, Hear my voice; You complacent daughters, Give ear to my speech.                                       Isaiah 32:9 (NKJV) The prophet Isaiah is warning his country about impending disaster when he suddenly addresses the women of the country.  I think it is significant that one of the major prophets felt it important to challenge the women of the country to get involved in the important work of restoring the spiritual foundation of that country.  We will see several important truths from this passage.  Women reflect the moral and spiritual climate of a country.  Women can help shape the moral and spiritual direction of a country.  As we honor or mothers let us not forget the tremendous influence they exert on our families, churches and country. This Sunday is Mother's Day and we want to say thank you to all the moms present with a special gift.  We also want to give to you the gift of time so you can tell your mom how much you appreciate her and love her, so the evening service is cancelled for this Sunday. This Sunday we are receiving a special love offering for Caleb Vance who is headed to Turkey this summer for a short term mission trip.  Any funds that come in the designated love offering envelopes will go to his trip fund.
