EASTER SUNDAY

Dear Church,

HE IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED, ALLELUIA! What a joy it will be to gather this Sunday to celebrate our risen Lord, Jesus! The death and resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of our faith and the reason we gather together. In Jesus we have hope of eternal life with Him and strength for abundant life today as we serve a world in need in His name. I cannot wait to worship with you all this Sunday.

Peace,
Pastor Jeff

EASTER FLOWERS

The sanctuary will be decorated on Easter Sunday, April 20, with flowers placed
in memory or in honor of friends and loved ones.
The Easter bulletin insert will have a list of names in whose memory or honor the flowers are given, as well as of those giving the memorials.
Contributors are invited to take a plant home after the Easter Sunday service.
Happy Easter!

HOP ON OVER FOR OUR ANNUAL EASTER EGG HUNT!

Join us Easter Sunday, April 20, right after the Worship Service

Our children will have a blast hunting for eggs filled with sweet surprises, so be sure to stick around and let the kids enjoy this fun tradition. And don't worry about the weather! If it’s rainy or chilly, we’ll move the hunt inside so the fun continues without a hitch!
This is a great time for family and friends to gather and enjoy the celebration together!
We can’t wait to see you there for an egg-cellent time!
