The evening of the first Easter ever!  The disciples were afraid and yet filled with joy, locked in the upper room — thinking the prospect of the resurrection and new life too good to be true.  Shaken from the daze of hopelessness, they realized it was Jesus and their hearts abounded with joy.  Witnesses of this wondrous Good News, these disciples boldly proclaimed Jesus as the one and only name of salvation and eternal life!  And so God calls each of us from hopelessness to joy!  Jesus unites us as one with His loving presence.  This is the day the Lord has made!  Let us rejoice and be glad in it!  We have Good News to share as we walk with Jesus!

This Sunday, April 19th, we gather in our sanctuary, our safe-place, for Jesus to come to us through His Word and Supper  We lift our praise led in worship by our Living Grace Prasie Team.  Worship begins at 10:00 a.m.  If you would like to read the lessons in preparation for worship, they are 1 Peter 1:17-25, and Luke 24:13-35.  The Lord’s Supper will be celebrated in our worship.  If you will be a visitor, please speak with Pastor Craig before communing.  Sunday School will start in the service and then move to a special experience just for them.  They will rejoin our worship at Communion time.  Coffee Fellowship will gather in the entryway as we share the sweetness of Jesus.  Gospel Outreach will meet after Coffee Fellowship to strategize ways we can reach out with our Risen Savior.  You are invited to be part of this group!  Pastor Clancy’s study of John continues this evening at 7:00 p.m.  The Zoom link can be found on the wesite’s calendar or in Friday’s email Messenger.  Welcome to the family because we are building
