Dear Fourth Church, "May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works..." (Psalm 104:31). And may we lift our eyes to him and rejoice as we begin a new day in Christ. We have just two more Sundays in the Sanctuary before we move to the Upper Room for services — Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. Please follow these links for more information: Schedule of Holy Week & Easter Services, April 10–17. The webpage includes descriptions of each service. Transition to Two Morning Services - Pick up a guide booklet with additional information this Sunday. Schedule of Adult Sunday School Classes - When you visit the webpage, scroll down to see the new classes starting April 24. You can also pick up a flyer with the full schedule on Sunday. Holy Week presents a wonderful opportunity to invite friends and neighbors to Alpha, a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Two different classes begin the last week of April, both at 6:30 p.m. Visit the Alpha page or email alpha@4thpres.org for details or to register a guest.  It's time for our monthly Collection & Food Drive this Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Thanks to all for your faithful participation in this ministry of care and witness to our community. Lastly, let me relay a word of thanks from our Missions and Mission DMV teams for your participation in the Missions Conference and invite you to email Janie Randell to sign up for their biweekly email. It's a great way to stay connected with the work of Fourth missionaries and opportunities to serve our community in Jesus' name.

Grace to you, Don Nalle For the Communications Team
