The azaleas on the stage this Easter Sunday are for our members who have lost loved ones in 2022. As a church we realize that while Easter is a joyous time because of Christ’s resurrection, it can also be a difficult time because it reminds us of loved ones we have lost. Below are the names of individuals who have passed away and the name of those family members who have been left behind. We hope that each family member listed takes one of the azaleas home after either the morning or evening worship service today. May Christ’s empty grave remind us of our own resurrection and give us hope. |
