It was so good to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection yesterday. We had such a good crowd both for the breakfast and also for the worship service. I especially enjoyed seeing so many families worshiping together.
A big thank you to all who helped with our especially busy week. Thanks so much to the decorating crew for making the sanctuary look beautiful for both Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. Thanks also for those who made the Fellowship Hall look so special for Maundy Thursday. Thank you to those who prepared our breakfast yesterday morning as well. There were so many who participated to help make our Holy Week special. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.
One more week in the Gospel of Matthew. Next week we’ll be looking at the Great Commission in Matthew 28, then we'll be shifting back to the Old Testament. For the rest of April and then the months of May and June we’ll be looking at 12 psalms. We’ll see what these ancient songs teach us about God and also how they connect to the story of Jesus and the Church.
Just a note to let you know that we have begun offering childcare again during our worship time. If you know someone for whom that would be good information, will you please pass it along? And, if you are willing to volunteer for childcare once every couple of months, please let me or Terri in the Church office know!
Let me challenge all of us to be praying specifically for someone who needs to be drawn closer to Jesus and would be blessed by his community of followers. It’s good that we pray for so many who have physical needs, but we should also be praying for those who have spiritual needs as well.
Hope to see you Sunday and bring along a friend!
God bless, Brian
