Worship Service 10 am
Rev. Dr. Michael Peach will continue his series,
"Celebration of Discipline"
Sermon Title: How We Celebrate Worship
Scripture Passage: Psalm 95:1-7
1 Come, let’s shout joyfully to the Lord,
shout triumphantly to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let’s enter his presence with thanksgiving;
let’s shout triumphantly to him in song.
3 For the Lord is a great God,
a great King above all gods.
4 The depths of the earth are in his hand,
and the mountain peaks are his.
5 The sea is his; he made it.
His hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let’s worship and bow down;
let’s kneel before the Lord our Maker.
7 For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
the sheep under his care.
Today, if you hear his voice:

Easter Egg Hunt Extravaganza
It's That Time Of Year Again! We are excited as we begin planning our Annual Easter Egg Hunt!
This year, kids can collect Easter Eggs and turn them in for an Easter-filled bag with The Story of Jesus, candy, and crafts. Pastor Michael will share the True Story of Easter message with families. This event is being held outside on Saturday, April 8, at 10:00 am.
Here are some ways you can help:
We Need Your Prayers!
Please pray over this event that it will be a blessing to our community!
Candy Donations
We are collecting candy to fill Easter Bags. If you can't get out and shop, Amy will happily do that for you with a cash donation.
Volunteers Are Needed
We need help filling candy bags on April 4 and setup/cleanup April 8.
During the event, we will need people to run the craft table, greet and make sure our community feels welcome, and people willing to assist where help is needed.
If you would like to volunteer, please signup at the Welcome Center or email Amy Mooradian at soxgirl611@gmail.com. Please let her know what area you would like to volunteer in.
