Pastor’s Column

             

Thank You!

             Thank you to everyone who made Lent, Holy Week, and Easter such a meaningful time in the life of our church. From the music; to the Palm Sunday parade, potluck lunch and egg hunt with the Easter bunny; to Holy Week with the Last Supper Re-enactment and Easter vigil to the glorious celebration of Easter, it took a village. I am grateful to each person who committed their time and energy to help us accomplish our mission and honor God with our worship.

Coming up Soon!

Please put the following events on your calendar and plan to participate: 

Spring Church Conference       Wednesday, April 30th, 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary

                                             Plan to attend so that we have a quorum to vote!

 

Memorial Sunday                  Sunday, May 18th, 11:00 a.m. worship and lunch to follow

                                           Please join us as we remember those we have lost in the last year

Please Pray!

             Please continue to pray for our Pastor Search team and the candidate that God is preparing to bring to this place, and for the Music Committee as they search for a new organist.

             Please pray for our Building for Hope core team (Jim and Carman Goben and Tracy) as they travel to Alexandria, VA for the second retreat on May 15-17. Pray for the larger team as they continue to work through the curriculum and prepare to help the congregation discern how God is calling us to move forward.
