THANK YOU!
To all that helped with the Easter Car Hop
We had a great day! It’s hard to get an exact number at an event like that, but we’re estimating 150+ with many Daycare, Mother’s Day Out and community families attending. A special thank you to Beth Henegar for coordinating everything!
 
SUNDAY WORSHIP
Apr 27 @ 10a
We can only imagine how Peter must have felt as the final days of Jesus’ life unfolded: devastated that his friend had been killed on a cross, disappointed that Judas had turned his back, heartbroken that Rome had seemingly won. But perhaps Peter was most saddened that he had denied Jesus three times when Jesus needed him most. We all know the pain of discouragement that comes by our own foolish choices, as well as the discouragement of things outside our control. The story of the resurrection shows that there is no disappointment that the resurrected Jesus cannot overcome. Peter is given the chance to restore relationship with the Savior with one simple question, “Do you love me?” Jesus asks us the same question as well. Resurrection hope comes from knowing that Jesus is faithful even when we are not. Jesus loves us back to wholeness. Do you love Him?

Mark your envelope with AAEO (or Annie Armstrong or Easter Offering, something like that).

LOVE OFFERING
May 3
As many of you know, Byron Staton has been in the hospital for multiple back surgeries or Physical Rehab Centers since January 23 of this year. Now, because he has not been able to be at work, his job has been terminated. Because of the lack of income and the mounting medical bills, we are going to take up a love offering for the Staton family at the conclusion of our worship service on May 3. Please, continue to pray for Byron’s full recovery.
