Quote of the Week: Thus it is that justification is ascribed to faith, because it is by faith that we receive Christ; and thus it is by faith only, and not by any other grace. Faith is peculiarly a receiving grace which none other is. Were we said to be justified by repentance, by love, or by any other grace, it would convey to us the idea of something good in us being the consideration on which the blessing was bestowed; but justification by faith conveys no such idea. On the contrary, it leads the mind directly to Christ, in the same manner as saying of a person that he lives by begging leads to the idea of his living on what he freely receives. (Andrew Fuller)
Promise for the Week: For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers. (1 Timothy 4:10)
This Sunday we will be celebrating Easter. If you would like to bring a Easter Lily for decoration, you can do so. Please take it home with you afterward if you do.

All three of the present home fellowships are meeting next Friday (March 19).
Don't forget your coffee cups for Sunday morning. We would like to leave the "purchased" cups primarily for visitors and newcomers to Coast. Let us come to worship with empty cups ready to be filled!
Check your bulletins on Sunday for other upcoming meetings and events.
Pray for one another "without ceasing," especially those in need of jobs and business growth as well as for those with babies on the way.
Keep trusting His promises, He's never failed us yet and He never will!
The Promise of Changelessness
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
