"Resurrection"
1 Corinthians 15: 3-8; 12-14
3 For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, 4 and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters[c] at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.
12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain.

Children's Ministry Updates
The nursery is open during worship and Sunday school, 9:45 AM to 12 PM. For ages 3 and under, take your child to the Joyful Noise Room in the children's Sunday school wing. Not sure where that is? Ask a greeter or any Avondaler!
In the Family Life Center you will find a table for children with worship activity bags, Bibles, nursery information and upcoming events for children. We invite you to use the activities and bags during worship if you would like! They are filled with coloring pages, stickers, sensory and fidget toys for busy minds and bodies and a few Easter crafts that you can take home!
