April 2023
Happy April to All!
We have welcomed SPRING into our world once again. How wonderful as we celebrate the rebirth of the season and claim the new life promises of our risen Lord! Our Lenten walk with Jesus continues towards another Palm Sunday and Easter Resurrection Day. Our world needs a Savior now more than ever. God is still on His throne and in control of all things. Preparations are under way to celebrate the “Triumphal Entry” of Jesus on Palm Sunday, His Last Supper with the disciples on Maundy Thursday, crucifixion on Good Friday and a life changing resurrection on Easter Sunday morning. Let’s secure the hope that only our Lord can give this hectic world. Jesus went through that final week of Lent extending us His mercy, grace and love to all who will receive Him. I can hardly wait to sing about His resurrection, preach about His sacrifice and celebrate with you because of His VICTORY! Share God's truth again this year with your family and friends! Invite someone to meet and worship our Jesus in person or online! We serve a risen Savior He is in the world today! Reflect the love of His resurrection!!
See you Easter morning April 9 at 10AM! HE is RISEN! HE is RISEN INDEED!
Pastor Wendell
