Special Spiritual Experience

GOOD FRIDAY

I am looking forward to a time of contemplation and communion at 12:15pm on Friday. This is a wonderful way to begin the Easter weekend as we consider the greatest sacrifice ever paid. Because Jesus was willing to pay the ultimate price, we have access to ultimate prize.

EASTER

Four celebrations to choose from . . . Saturday at 7:00pm, Sunday at 9:00am, 10:30am, or noon. This is a perfect opportunity to invite a friend to join you at church. People are actually hoping someone will extend an invitation for this special spiritual experience. There will be incredible music, stories of lives that have been changed through faith in Jesus, and a message that will celebrate the gift God offers every person on earth. I can’t wait!

SPECIAL BUSINESS MEETING

We considered the approval of purchasing a digital sign that would front the freeway from our property. It required a two-thirds majority to move forward. We ended up one vote short of a two-thirds majority. Most of the no votes were simply because some wanted to see if we could raise the funds needed to purchase the sign instead of finance it. We will present a revised approach at another special business meeting to convene on Sunday, April 22, at 5:00pm in the Auditorium. This is a wonderful opportunity and we would love to have your involvement in the decision making process if you are a member of our church.

Mark 14:4-7 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”
