For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith
—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God
— not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9

Now to Him who is able
to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine,
according to His power
that is at work within us,
to Him be glory in the church
and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations,
for ever and ever! Amen.

What's Happening?
Female Heroines
from Wonder Woman to the Bible,
Caleb Mathis gives a glimpse of 12 of these women in his article: https://www.crossroads.net/media/articles/12-badass-women-from-the-bible
Here is his beginning paragraph…….
“Mom, I know you don’t like swearing, but here’s what I mean by the word “badass.” It’s not being contrary, a rebel for rebels's sake, or bucking the system. It’s actually not about rebelliousness at all. It’s someone willing to confront injustice and hardship with integrity and faithfulness. Honestly, most people don’t do that. So if someone does, they’re a badass in my book.”
Joyfully,
Marilee :)
Light and Salt
You are the salt of the earth.
But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor?
Can you make it salty again?
It will be thrown out
and trampled underfoot as worthless.
You are the light of the world—
like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.
Matthew 5:13-14
We want to thank you for your prayers. These past few days have been a great blessing for each of the attendees at this teen camp (ages 12-17), titled "Light and Salt 2025." A total of 115 participants.
Many of them accepted Jesus into their hearts, others confirmed their faith and commitment to be salt and shine in this world, showing the light of Christ in their lives, some teenagers who arrived with a broken heart were restored by the Word of God.

A new peer-led support group for people who are blind or have low vision is starting up in the Damariscotta region. The group will be led by a local blind couple. They offer a safe environment where members can share their experiences about living and coping with vision loss. Meetings will be held from 10:30AM - 11:30AM every second Thursday of the month, in the Carpenter Room at Skidompha Public Library, in Damariscotta.
If you have questions contact the Kutsch’s at, ginger@ky2d.com.
Five of us went to the Amy Grant Concert on Friday night. Amy has been working with Compassion International, seeking sponsors for children in developing countries for over 40 years. She has worked with the organization to create a new approach to helping children. By committing to $35/month, you can sponsor a pregnant mother through her pregnancy and for the child’s first year of life. The program focuses on these three countries, Togo, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso. I am seeking 6 other individuals to join me in sending $5/month to provide a pregnant woman in a developing country the care she needs to deliver a healthy baby and a year of support to help ensure that child survives. If you are interested please talk with Marilee. For more information about "Compassion Nurturers," click on this link: “Help Babies and Mothers”.
