· Easter Sunday - This Sunday, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, the
ultimate payment for the price of all sins! Please remember to bring your elements to
worship on Sunday, either to the church or to your monitor, as we celebrate and
commemorate Jesus' death and resurrection, the act that seals salvation for the
sinners of the world! We hope to have some form of actual "communal
communion" in October for World Communion Sunday

· Guest Preacher April 24th - The Sessions have granted Rev. Steve a
week off from preparing worship for next Sunday, so we will be joined by Mario

"dead" in body, mind, or soul and are in desperate search of
"resurrection"
-For those battling the latest wave
of COVID illness, both those who are vaccinated and those who are not
-For those striving to bring peace to
the areas of the world that are shattered by war, and

refugee, unloose the prisoner, free the slave, bind up the broken-hearted, feed
the hungry, and raise up the downtrodden, all with the love and grace of God!
