BABY BOTTLE RETURNS

There are “10 unaccounted for baby bottles” that have not yet been returned. We are asking that, if you have one of them, please return it (even if it’s empty) to the Bottle Return in the foyer just outside the main Sanctuary doors. We would like to return ALL the bottles to the Center that were specifically designated for SHCN.

Easter Cantata & Youth Group Breakfast

The sanctuary choir will present this year’s Easter Cantata, The Choice, on Palm Sunday, April 14, 2019 at 10:00 am. The sanctuary choir will be continuing the story of God’s plan of redemption that began at Christmas, for all people, and will culminate in the choice above all choices: whether or not to heed God’s calling to follow Him and accept His Son, Jesus Christ, as our Lord and Savior.

The Youth Group will be hosting a breakfast before the Cantata from 8:30-9:30 am in the Fellowship Hall. A love offering will be taken and will benefit the Youth Group.

Thank You

Dear Church Family,

My family and I want to thank all of you for the love and concern shown these past months as we wait for our newest addition. We feel blessed to be surrounded by so much care and prayer. We are excited to share this experience with you. We are touched by the encouragement we have been given. Our baby shower was a beautiful celebration and my heart is warm.

God Bless, Inga, Eric, Ava, and Edith Earnest

Start children off on the way they should go, and even

Be Encouraged by God’s Word

Luke 13:31–35

At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
