Discovery Family,
Last Sunday was a great Sunday! One Church got off to a very good start with 200 people in attendance on their first Sunday!
Brandon and the team did a great job as they communicated their heart for the Chartiers Valley. Thanks to all the Discovery
volunteers who came down to serve and help. There are several more of you going this week as well! Thanks you all for serving, not out of
obligation, but because of love.
I am looking forward to being back at Discovery this week. And as I have been preparing my message for Sunday I have been
spending a lot of time pondering this word "love.
" Its a word we don't really do that well with. We use it for so many things that I
am not entirely sure we understand what it means.
As we wrap up our THIS IS US series, this Sunday will also serve as a really good segue into Easter week. You can't talk about
Jesus and Easter without the word love. And hopefully, I figure out how to define that word for you.
Speaking of Easter, it is only one week from Sunday. I hope you will consider inviting friends and family to join you both this week
and on Easter.
I think we have a really good Easter service planned... remember you will have three choices for which service to attend 8:45, 10 or 11:15AM. The 10AM service is always the most attended and can be hard to find a seat... so consider one of the others, especially if you are bringing a large family. The service is only 60 minutes long,.. so you will want to be on time to get a seat.
My hope is that we will be able to recapture the wonder of the cross
and resurrection over the next two weeks, rather than just seeing it all as a fun and colorful holiday.
It is so much more!
Looking forward to seeing you!
Toney Salva
Founding Pastor

Easter Sunday - Experience the Wonder
Sunday, April 1 * 8:45, 10 & 11:15 AM
When was the last time you were in awe? What was it that made you drop your mouth in wonder? Perhaps it was the birth of a child, a beautiful mountain range or the sound of the surf? Chances are it was quite a while ago that you felt any wonder or awe. It is so easy to become desensitized and really miss the "wow" moments in life. This Easter, what if we rediscovered and experienced the greatest wonder of life? What if we really stopped and considered that Jesus is alive!
