Normally, we see these God creatures in our backyard in the\nbushes near our seed station.&nbsp; 20 or maybe\n30 flock together there particularly in the winter.&nbsp; I still can\u2019t figure out who the leader is yelling\n\u201cGet going!\u201d In a second they land on the station but then in another second they\nall fly back to the bushes.

It will be shown in theatres across Canada starting March 13.&nbsp; By the way if you want to see free movies before they are released register yourself at faithfilms.ca. I guess producers have realized that there is a large Christian market out there.&nbsp; For Easter April 8, 9 &amp; 11 they are also bringing to the screen \u201cSight &amp; Sound\u2019s spectacular original stage production\u201d called Jesus put on in Lancaster, PA.&nbsp; (I should be on their marketing team!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gary continues to be busy with all his various projects.&nbsp; He is sending out a weekly six-minute video\nto about 80 on his list.&nbsp; If you want to\nbe added let him know \u2013 <a href=\"mailto:gary@hillsidechurchmilton.ca\">gary@hillsidechurchmilton.ca<\/a>. &nbsp;He is getting some terrific feedback in\nresponse as the weeks go by to help him in his research.&nbsp; He just keeps plugging along doing his thing\nlike the sparrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are currently encouraged with what is happening at Hillside Church.&nbsp; In the days ahead we will share with you more\nof what is transpiring behind the scenes.&nbsp;\nThank you for your prayers.&nbsp; As transitional\npastor, Gary\u2019s sermons are at Facebook.com\/hillsidechurchmilton if you are\ninterested.&nbsp; One event many of us have\nbeen enjoying together is our weekly Home Group Online session for Bible study\nand prayer.&nbsp; We all sit in front of our\nown computers or phones in our own homes at a specifically appointed time.&nbsp; Travelling time and babysitters are not\nrequired.&nbsp; Modern technology (with some\nglitches) has won us over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents are always concerned about their children no matter their\nage.&nbsp; Our son Rob has suffered with a\nbothersome dizziness (vertigo) for over a week and our daughter Rebekah has\nbeen going through lots of scary tests to find blood clots in her lungs and\nlegs.&nbsp; Thankfully, both have been cleared.\n&nbsp;Matthew 10:29 asks, \u201cAre not two\nsparrows sold for a penny?
