THINGS TO DO IN AUSTIN

TEXAS .......................3

This Christian journey is not about how much you love him, but about

how much HE loved you!

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told By: Minister Leroy Hargrove The Passion of the Christ was one of the

most controversial movies for the religious

community in many years. Many sneered

and complained that it was to graphic and

violent. Some arguments even brought up

the point that it was a direct attack against

the Jewish community, depicting that they

killed Christ.

Regardless of your position on the movie,

it’s graphic nature or the thought of who

killed our Lord, it is one that must be

viewed by every Christian. When we read

the words written in the bible about his

love for us, it’s hard to grasp without an

attachment. The words on the page tell us

that he was marred more than any man.

They tell us that he was bruised for our

transgressions. When we read these words

we can easily pass over them without feel-

ing. But the visual images, screams and

sounds captured in the movie is one of the

most realist attachments we will probably

ever experience. It is one that captures the

depths of what our Lord and Savior went

through in order to purchase us, that we

may be saved. So, experience the greatest

love story ever told for yourself by except-

ing Christ into your life.

STAR STUDENT Congratulations to Zyonne Hargrove. Zyonne has earned the designation of “Star Student” for

Elgin Middle School. Every six week period, a handful of students are chosen based upon

academic achievement, attendance and character. Zyonne was one of less than 30 students out

of approximately 480 chosen for this award.

Way to go Zyonne!!!

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told!

An inspiring poem by an inspiring Teen. Regan Smith

Horizon Worship Center Youth

I AM VIOLENCE

What causes me?

The thugs and drugs

That everybody does

The gangs who hurt me.

What am I?

Who am I?

I am violence.

I am violence because

Of things of this world

Bullying, Peer pressure,

And Anger I was just a girl.

What am I?

Who am I?

I am violence.

Save me in time

Before I hurt

Children like Columbine,

Save me in time

Before I blow my mind.

What am I?

Who am I?

I am non-existent

All is safe and well

But somewhere else I dwell.

I know not what I do next

But you better believe it

Will be my best

What am I?

Who am I?

I am a disease

You thought you could stop me

Well that’s where you’re wrong

You can solve me and win,

I’ll show up again.

What am I?

Who am I?

I am an annoyance

I am violence

I do as I please

So fill your mind

With pretend ease.

What am I?

Who am I?

I am a nightmare.

Will you ever get rid of me?

Will be gone?

I believe

That you may be wrong.

What am I?

Who am I?

I am violence.

AUSTIN: We’re Growing

Fast

According to Forbes magazine, Austin is the #1 fastest grow-ing city in the coun-try. Businesswise,

that means big bucks and opportunity. For us, it means we have more opportunity to witness to someone

about the Lord! Don’t miss your op-

portunity!!!

Congratulations! Brian “Moody” Hicks! Moody’s team, Austin Can Academy, was crowned the district

champs. With a record of 16-3, they competed for the State Championship. Horizon Worship

Center is proud to have a rising superstar who is also purposed to serve the Lord.

Congratulation Moody!!!!

T.A.G: Busting at the seam! What is T.A.G? It is the Horizon Worship Center’s TEEN MINISTRY and it stands for

Transforming A Generation. The TAG ministry is one of the fastest growing ministries

at Horizon Worship Center. Pastor Larry Williams and his assistants Minister Zonerphia

Williams (his wife) and Kanisha Cobbs definitely have their hands full with the grow-

ing number of future leaders. On Wednesday nights, the ministry ministers to 20+ teen-

agers.

Currently, the teens are soliciting donations for a ministry trip, which is well deserved.

You can participate and support this awesome ministry by donating.
