Get ready to feel like a zombie

March 8, 2016

The "Skit Guys" are at it again...

making us laugh while not-so-gently reminding us that it's our least favorite time of year--you know, when we all walk around like zombies for a week because we lost an hour of sleep and it feels like our whole life has been shifted up an hour? Yeah...it's that time again...Daylight Saving Time. Set your clocks FORWARD one hour before you head to bed Saturday night and join us Sunday morning as we launch a special Easter project we've all gotten pretty excited about...

#BUILDABLESSING THIS EASTER

Remember those buckets of Easter treats our staff delivered to first responders last week? We really wanted to bless them with some goodies, let them know how much we appreciate their service to our community, and invite them to our Saturday night Easter worship service (many of them work on Sundays).

But it doesn't stop there. We want YOU to go and do likewise. This Sunday, we're giving out buckets so you, too, can #buildablessing. Take one, fill it with Easter treats, and deliver it to your neighbor, coworker, child's teacher or a first responder. We only have 1,000 of these buckets, and we think they'll go pretty fast. So set your alarm and join us for a great morning of worship and the first week of a new sermon series.

You can be a part of this fun event designed to teach kids about the great news of Easter and help families take that great news to their neighbors. Our first ever Shandon Easter Egg Hunt is Saturday, March 19, from 10am-noon, and w e're looking for volunteers to serve in 1-hour shifts.

DON'T JUST WORSHIP AT "EUCHARIST"--HELP LEAD IT!

We can't wait to gather together on Palm Sunday to take the Lord's Supper and worship our risen Lord Jesus. Our Palm Sunday Night of Worship, Eucharist, is March 20 at 6pm.

We invite you to be a part of the choir that will join the modern worship band for a portion of the service--you don't have to be a part of our 10am worship choir.
