The Winter season is almost over. Spring officially begins on March 19, Tuesday. Many people look forward to the beginning of outside activities that bring the beauty of God’s creation into our lives. There are so many personal projects that need to be undertaken. However, you must remember to be thankful that God will allow you to find the time and energy to show Him how much you appreciate His creation. During all your busyness you must not fail to find time to worship and give the Lord praise for the blessing of the change in season. One never knows the blessings that awaits those that show their love to their Creator. Look around you. Remember there may be people who have need but possibly not the strength or resources to make the necessary changes around the property the Lord has blessed them with. I hope you believe as I do that, people can find time to assist those that do have a special need in their life. Burbank, First has been blessed with people who are always willing to assist their neighbors or friends when the need is made known. Another need often not thought about is spring refresh to your church building and property. Who is going to do it? Let’s not leave it for someone else to do what needs to be. Why not volunteer to undertake a special project that would show that there is life in the place that you worship. I believe that stewardship is something that the Lord would like for all of us to participate in. You quite possibly may make an impact on someone visiting your fellowship when they see how much to want to honor God with your efforts. There is nothing like attending a church where you can see it full of life.

A ribbon cutting ceremony and open house was held for the new Phillips 66 STEM Facility at Ponca City High School in the afternoon on Thursday, March 15. A bond election was held in October of 2021, with one of the many projects on that list being the establishment of a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) space with a focus on college and career readiness for students, as technology continues to evolve and STEM-related fields become more needed and in demand.
