From the Pastor
Easter Join us on Sunday, April 1, as we walk with Jesus
to Emmaus. I hope you will celebrate the risen Savior in one of our morning worship services.
Sunday Morning Sermon Series It is a small, but powerful, life-changing word. Yet, so many
people overlook it when reading the Bible. All. That word occurs more than 5,600 times in Scripture in more than 4,600 different
verses. Many times, God is communicating important lessons to
us through the word “all.” On Sunday, April 8, I will begin, “All,”
a 10-week sermon series examining what God is trying to tell us through some key passages containing this small, powerful word.
Walk Thru the New Testament Would you like to have a passion for God’s Word and learn it in a unique, engaging way? Registration is open for this interactive
Bible learning seminar with classes for adults, youth, and
children. Details are available on the front cover of this issue.
