We want to take this time to “THANK” all of you that participated in the International School of Monterey Clean Up Day this last Saturday, March 9th. Your heart to serve the Lord was an amazing thing to see and we so appreciated it! God certainly was with us on Saturday and this project was a great Organic Outreach!!!
We would like to share with you the email that we got from Lisa Griffin Burns the Operations & HR person at the school:
“Dear Debra and Andre -
It is just so rewarding when a plan comes to fruition successfully and that is exactly what happened on Saturday!
ISM owes the Shoreline Community Outreach ministry, generally, and each of you, specifically, as well as Sharon, Brad, and Scott, a huge debt of gratitude for your collective dedication and commitment to this weekend’s array of safety, beautification, gardening, and cleaning tasks here at the International School of Monterey. Our joint Saturday Work Day event was blessed with great weather, stellar organization and planning, and such friendly individuals keen on making a difference on our campus. It truly was a special day!
The timing of your outreach efforts was flawless as my colleague, Lisa Wichael-Loomis, and I had been grappling with how to complete urgent safety signage placement. In addition, International Garden Coordinator, Denise Wood, was also desiring to complete ongoing gardening projects in preparation for a grand opening event. Without the intervention and support of your church volunteers, we would not have been able to achieve these existing goals in such a timely and effective fashion.
Debra, it was a pleasure reconnecting with you on Saturday and learning more about the wonderful work Shoreline is doing throughout the Monterey Peninsula community! You truly are making a difference!
Andre, you are inspirational in the manner in which you dedicated countless hours to planning for this weekend’s event. Your organizational thoroughness was amazing and I so appreciated your reassuring, can-do approach. Your ability to assess our project needs, gather the needed manpower, supplies, and resources, and be fully prepared in less than a week’s time was quite remarkable. Thank you so much!
Please extend my thanks onward to Sharon, Brad, and Scott, for the pivotal roles they each played in this weekend’s event. We so appreciated their efforts and enjoyed working with each of them.
So, on behalf of ISM, our students and staff, Lisa, Denise, and I extend our warmest thanks to Shoreline Community Church for choosing ISM as an alternate park clean up project this weekend. ISM has a great community of parent volunteers, but our efforts this weekend would not have been achievable without your support. Bottom line!
Best regards and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Reading Plan for next week’s message
Sunday - Psalm 22
Monday – Isaiah 53
Tuesday – Luke 1
Wednesday – Luke 2
Thursday – John 18-19
Friday – John 20-21
Saturday – Philippians 2, Colossians 1
Memorize/Reflect: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Prayer Direction: Ask for God to help you see yourself as you really are. Pray for an awareness of how much God loves you. Pray also for a humble attitude that shows you are aware that every good gift you have comes from God.
“Live It!” Challenge: Make a List - Write down a list of the many gifts, abilities, things, and blessings you have in your life. This list can include people you love, skills you have, spiritual blessings, and any good thing in your life. Then, reflect on how God is involved in providing each of these for you. Spend time this week, each day, reflecting on how good God has been to you and make time to thank Him.
Small Group Discussion (Stuff About You):
- Read: Psalm 139:1-12. What do you learn in this passage about God’s knowledge of you and His work in your life?
- What does this passage teach you about where God is and where He is at work today?
How does it make you feel when you realize where God is and where He is at work? - There is real intimacy in verse 5 when God David declares that God, “Hems him in behind and before and lays his hand on him.” What picture does this paint in your mind?
How have you seen God go before you and follow behind you? - What does it mean to say that God has laid his hand on you?
How have you experienced this? - Read: Psalm 139:13-18. David writes about how God was with him, forming him in his mother’s womb. What are some of the implications we should be aware of if God is at work in a mother’s womb, forming and touching each child? What value does this give to each life?
- David boldly declares that he is “fearfully and wonderfully made,” and that, as part of God’s creation, he is “wonderful!” What is one thing about the way God has made you that can reveal God’s creativity and glory? Are you comfortable declaring, “As God’s son or daughter, I am wonderful!” Why or why not?
- Read: Romans 3:10-18. The apostle Paul gives a list of Old Testament quotes about the nature of people and the condition of our hearts without the grace of God received through Jesus. What kind of picture does Paul paint of humans without Jesus? How do you respond to this description of you and every person who has ever walked this planet (except Jesus)?
- Read: Romans 3:21-26. In God’s plan of salvation, what has our Heavenly Father done, what has Jesus done, and what must we do?
- Read: Romans 6:22-23. When we have received the free gift of God’s grace through faith in Jesus, we are called to grow in holiness. This process of sanctification lasts a lifetime. What is one way you see God growing you in holiness? What challenges are you facing in this process of growing in sanctification (as you become more like Jesus)?
- How can your group members pray for you and encourage you as you seek to walk in freedom, turn from sin, and live inthe power of Jesus?
