Easter: Resurrection not Resignation

Mark 16:1-8

Rev. Leanne Walt

Our children on Easter

We are all looking forward to celebrating together on Easter morning. If it is anything like last year, our sanctuary will overfloweth! What a joy!

We encourage you to have your children join us during the service, on this the most important day of the Christian calendar. Children may wander and chirp, we are happy to have them with us.

While not staffed (we want our folks to all be able to participate in worship), the crib room and the library are both available should your littles need a break from the action. The service can be heard in both places.  

For church school age children (pre-K to 4th grade), they will be invited to come downstairs to Room 3 following the reading of scripture for a storytime activity before returning to their grown ups for communion.

“NOT” Church School

Are you in school and are somewhere in the range of 6th-12th Grade? Please come and join me in the library each Sunday from 10:15-11:00am and have open discussions in seeking truth together!

Associate Pastor Search Committee announces candidate

At this week’s Church Council meeting (3/26), the Associate Pastor Search Committee recommended the Rev. Peter Strobel (pictured, with his wife, Allie) for the position. Council unanimously voted to support his candidacy and consideration by the congregation.We celebrate this good Easter news! On Sunday, April 28th Peter will preach at our 10:00 a.m. worship service, followed by a congregational vote to call him into the role of Associate Pastor. All church members please plan to attend to participate in this momentous occasion in the life of our congregation.

✍🏼Sign up this Sunday to be a Secret Intercessory Prayer Partner

A Secret Intercessory Prayer Partner is someone who will pray for another person every day for a year. The Partners are drawn by lot and kept secret. So, you will not know who is praying for you, and your Prayer Partner will not know that you are praying for them! Sign up using the online form or one of the orange forms in the basket in fellowship hall.
