Acts 2:1-3

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.

Easter Sunder 2013

Join us next Sunday to celebrate our risen Savior

Luke 24:6-8 says:

He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” Then they remembered his words.

I cannot think of a greater gift than this, can you?

Join us Easter Morning...

• We will begin the morning with Easter breakfast at 9am.
• Worship service will begin at 10:15 so we can spend more time praising our Lord.
• During the worship service, the kids will be having a special Kidstime. They won’t want to miss the fun exciting lesson and egg hunt!

A signup sheet is available in the welcome center. Whether you are bringing a dish or not, we ask that you please sign up with the number in your party so we are able to plan accordingly.

Are you able to help us decorate for Easter? We are taking donations of Easter lilies to decorate the Sanctuary. Feel free to bring them up through Easter Sunday.
