HE IS RISEN, HE IS RISEN INDEED!

We are in the midst of the Holiest Week of the year on the Christian Calendar. For over 2,000 years Christians have proclaimed the Good News of Jesus Christs' resurrection. The song rings out loud and clear, "Because HE Lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know He holds the future, and life is worth living all because He lives!"

We are looking forward to a great weekend on the campus of Midland Valley Community as we celebrate Easter 2024. It all starts with our Good Friday service at 6 PM. I hope you and your family will be able to attend this most reverent service as we receive Holy Communion and we remember the price that Jesus paid for our sins on the cross.

On Holy Saturday this weekend we will celebrate EASTER FEST with our church family and community. This free event is for all ages, but especially geared towards our children with Easter Egg hunts, multiple inflatables, free hot dogs, and all kinds of fun! The weather forecast for the weekend looks great, so plan on bringing your entire family to this fantastic event. We start at 11 AM and go until 1 PM, so you will still have the afternoon and evening free. I want to give a HUGE shout out and thank you to our many volunteers that make this outreach to our neighborhood possible. YOU ARE THE BEST!

I am eagerly anticipating Resurrection Sunday! The praise and worship will be powerful. HE IS RISEN...HE IS RISEN INDEED. We are starting a new sermon series for the Spring called "BLESSING OUR COMMUNITY." During this series we are going to be talking about serving others, and the message Sunday will start by celebrating "The Greatest Hero of All!" Make a firm commitment to be in church on Easter Sunday this year, and try to get your entire family to join you. It will be life changing.

Hope to see many of you tonight at MVC as all regular activities will be held at their normal times. God is doing a great work at our church, don't dare miss it!

HE IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED!
