Please consider partnering with us in declaring the goodness of God throughout this community and in our world.
This is an exciting Sunday for the congregation. Our “Passion” series of sermons will culminate today in the wonderful story of Jesus’ resurrection. Our Savior came out of the grave, and because he did, we have an incredible hope, a clear purpose, and a secure eternity with God. Let us praise and thank God today—and every day—for the empty tomb.
Today i s a l so our annual Easter Eggstravaganza. Guests, please bring your kids and enjoy all the fun activities at 2:00 pm. Today also marks the final Sunday for many of our college students to be with us. We are thankful for you and wish you all the best this summer or in the next chapter of your lives.
