2018 EASTER SCHEDULE
Good Friday Service Friday, March 30th 6:30 p.m.
Come and remember the sacrifice that Christ made on our behalf. This Good Friday service will feature
scripture and music and the Lord's Supper as we recount the events that took place around Jesus’ death.
Though a somber mood will be prevalent throughout this service it will help us to look forward to the
resurrection. This service is designed to be family friendly.
EGGSTRAVAGANZA Saturday, March 31st
FCC’s Easter Egg Hunt for children of all ages!
Toddlers and Preschool are at 6:30 p.m. * K-6th grades are at 7:00 p.m.
Easter Sunday Morning Sunday, April 1st 8:00, 9:30, 11:00
Let us come together and worship, celebrating God's power together! This is also a great time for you to get
involved in helping others to experience the saving power of God. Invite your friends, neighbors, co-workers,
and anyone else who doesn't have a church home to come with you and hear the Good News, maybe for the
first time!
Easter Love Offering
Every year, on Easter Sunday, First Christian Church takes up an Easter Love Offering. It is an offering to the Lord,
above and beyond our normal tithe, that simply says “Thank you, Lord.” The fruit of this offering goes to various
missionaries and mission projects. Half of this year’s Easter Love Offering will be split evenly between
Shiloh Christian Children’s Home and Ninos de Mexico. The other half will be divided between the six Bible
Colleges that we support: Lincoln Christian University, Cincinnati Christian University, St. Louis Christian College,
Ozark Christian College, Kentucky Christian University and Collegio Biblico. This year ’s goal is $25,000.

Our children’s ministry volunteers took 15 preteens (4th-6th grade) to SuperStart in
Bloomington, IL on March 9th-10th. SuperStart is a CIY production ministry that is
designed for preteens to learn and grow in their relationships with friends, ministry leaders,
and most importantly, God.
Preteens need teaching that is age specific because they are owning core theological
concepts for the first time in their lives, hence, large number of baptisms happen during
this age.
We thank our FCC congregation for investing and supporting children’s ministry in order
to make these weekend trips happen.”

Throughout the month of
April we will be collecting:
Peanut Butter & Jelly

for the Salem Food Pantry.
Items can be left in the
collection box in the foyer.
CIY Believe is a high-energy weekend event for Junior High students
only. It is structured specifically for Junior High students and is
packed with powerful worship and teaching from God’s Word.
This year 11 students and 4 volunteers set off to Springfield to pursue
a deeper relationship with Christ! This year’s theme was God WITH
us. It focused around Matthew 28:20 and the idea that Jesus is with us
always, to the end of the age. We had the opportunity to stay at
Lakeside Christian Church with about 100 other leaders and students,
fellowship together, and sleep for a few hours. Pray for these students
as they navigate life with Jesus by their side.
