Dear Church family,
We have lots of announcements; so please check them out below.
One of the things I’m most excited about this Holy Week is our combined Good Friday worship service with Northbrook Baptist Church on April 6 (7PM, more info below). This will be a neat opportunity for two different churches who love Jesus to worship the LORD together. Each church will probably learn some new songs. Each church will meet new people. Each church will have an opportunity to hear messages and testimonies from different folks. All these differences and new things have the potential of making someone uncomfortable. My encouragement to each one of us is to come with an open heart, willing to receive what the LORD might have for us. I look forward to this special worship services of 2 different bodies!! Please consider inviting friends to this special service.
More announcements:
Baby Shower Thursday March 29th 6:30 We will have a baby shower to bless Sara and Ramona Crandall. The Shower will be held at Colleen Gardner’s in Central City. Dessert will be served. Sara and Jonathan have all they need to care for baby number five. Sara has requested freezer meals for their family or diapers as a gift.
Ladies Craft Night Thur. April 5 : Please join for fellowship at 7:00PM at MaryLou Erlacher’s home. This is a great opportunity to invite a friend!
Good Friday Service – April 6, 7pm We will be joining the congregation of Northbrook Baptist Church 1700 Boyson Road. Join us to glory in the cross of Christ through song, Scripture, devotions, testimonies, prayer and the Lord’s Supper. Childcare will be provided for children 4 and under (please RSVP to Lesia Stuelke by Monday April 1st to ensure sufficient staffing). Light refreshments and fellowship to follow.
Resurrection Sunday, April 8: An Easter brunch at 9:30am will precede our 10am worship service.
Sharing the True Meaning of Easter Outreach, April 1-5: Have you been looking for an opportunity to tell others about Jesus? Or have you ever wanted to share your faith with a bit more confidence? Whether yes or no, please come to a 9am training next Sunday morning. Then, we will encourage you to consider going out one evening of Holy Week to share the true meaning of Easter. We will be going to Thomas Park from 6:30 – 7:30pm Sunday-Thursday April 1st -5th. Even if you don’t want to talk to others, it would be great to have you come for prayer support or to listen. Bring your kids too. Please talk to Jeff Olson or Gary Schultz if you have any questions or if you want to sign up. Consider what the Lord did for us and please give Him an extra hour or two the first week of April.
Easter Sunday Mens Group: If you would like to join a group of men singing “Up from the Grave” on Easter Sunday, please contact Tony Weber. Practice will be Thursday March 29 and Thursday April 5 @ 6:15 pm at Weber’s.
Palm Sunday Processional April 1: We would like to invite any of the children who would like to be involved in the Palm processional to meet in the flint room at 9:50 next Sunday.
Flowers to decorate the sanctuary Easter Sunday: We would appreciate anyone who would like to bring Easter Lilies to decorate the lobby and the sanctuary.
Thanks friends!
