Pray for those in Haiti who have been devastated by the recent earthquake. Our denomination has an established presence in Haiti and is active in the relief effort there. If you would like to help financially you can go to www.pca-mna.org and click on "Contribute." If you would rather donate directly through StoneBridge you can write a check to StoneBridge Church and put "Haiti 2010" in the memo. We will divide any funds received between this work and Project 127 (http://www.project127-haiti.com). Thank you for showing the love of Christ during a difficult time.
StoneBridge is close to finishing its most recent building project, one not locally but around the globe. We are excited because we are only about $15,000 away from completing our funding for the 500-student English Speaking Christian School in Hyderabad, India. The school has already received much publicity in India as it will change the future of many children as they receive an opportunity for an education that would otherwise be impossible. We encourage you to prayerfully consider whether the Lord would have you contribute to the completion of this project and we want to thank everyone who has already helped in making this bridge-building venture possible! Also, we will be taking a team of people to India, June 21-27, to see and commission the school's grand opening. We will be sharing more information about this trip soon.

Worthy
Has your relationship with God grown stale? Does spending time in prayer or Bible reading feel like a chore? Or are you living in constant amazement at how he exists three persons? How he simply spoke galaxies, elephants and amoebas into existence? How Jesus transformed hundreds of gallons of common water into the choicest wine ever tasted? Either way, join us in the Cafe 9 am Sunday mornings in March and April as Doug Falls leads us in a look at just how worthy of devotion our God truly is.

God’s New Society
As much as our society might mean well when it speaks of toleration and inclusivity, it is only the power of God the Holy Spirit that gives us hope of making this world a better place. He is at work transforming and reshaping both individual human beings as well as culture as a whole through his new society, the church. So head to the Fellowship Hall 10:30 am Sunday mornings throughout March and April where Jeff Levinson will be teaching an in-depth study of the Book of Ephesians which tells us all about God’s New Society.
