Easter: The Rest of the Story
Pastor Cathy
Paul Harvey became famous for his column, "The Rest of the Story." Harvey became well-loved for his clever stories which helped us get a new perspective on the news and life. For over 50 years he shared amazing stories with people across our nation.
For some Easter is simply a day when we gather to hunt for chocolate eggs to fill our Easter baskets. For some Easter is a day to go to the mandatory "Easter Family Brunch." For others it is a day to celebrate a day that changed everything.
Easter is the foundation of Christianity. Dr. Leander Keck puts it well:
"Without Easter, there is no Christian faith."
Easter is the day when we celebrate a God who defeated sin and death and offers us new life through Jesus Christ. New chapters of life open up to us because of Easter!

New Connect Groups "Spring Start-up."
You are being invited to "come and see" or "sample" what a Connect Group is all about. Six new groups are starting up the week of April 6th. Your commitment is short term. You'll meet in someone's home, at church or at a restaurant for 1 ½ hours for 5 weeks. A Connect Group is made up of 6-8 people who come together to build relationships and "do life together." Friendships form through sharing in social and spiritual conversations. For more information or to sign up, please stop by the Welcome Center after worship today, or contact Lisa Rabinowitz at 979-8192 or

Endowment
What will your legacy be? Each of us is creating a "legacy" by how we live and how we give. Would you like to create a legacy of generosity for life-changing ministry? The HPCUMC Endowment was created to ensure the future and impact of the life-changing ministry of HPCUMC. ONE WAY to do so is by giving "appreciated assets." Property that has increased in value (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.) can be transferred to the church and is usually both tax deductible and avoids capital gains taxes. To discuss this and other ways to make a gift to one of the Endowment Funds, contact Sue Camp at 979-8198 or Michael Vilardo at 316-1540.
