Dear Fourth Church,

We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend and are refreshed in the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you to all our pastors, musicians, staff, and volunteers who helped make Holy Week a special week in the life of our church, and in our lives.

Much progress has been made in the Sanctuary's renovation over the last couple weeks: See below for a quick video update!

Due to Easter weekend, the April Drive-Through Collection and Food Drive will take place this Saturday at the Upper Portico, 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. Next month the drive will resume the second Saturday of each month, but with a new time frame going forward, 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. Visit 4thpres.org/food-drive for details and a list of accepted donations; at the bottom of the page is a printable list, or you can pick up a list at the Information Center while at church.

The craft ministry Yarns For Hope meets faithfully each month at the same time the collection is happening, 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. If you like to knit or crochet, consider lending your skills to create something special for one of our ministry partners. New crafters are always welcome! Email yarnsforhope@4thpres.org for more information.
