Good morning everyone,            
                We awaken to a morning of sunshine!  The spring we have longed for has sprung!
                This morning my time of meditation (go to www.pray-as-you-go.com) focused on the gentle and sure advice of Jesus: Do not let your hearts be troubled.  Trust in God; believe in me.
Reassuring words in a troubled world.
                This coming Sunday morning, two of our young men are going to confirm their trust in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Years ago, Jake and Spencer’s parents made a commitment to raise their child in the Christian faith.  This congregation made a commitment to provide education, support, and love.  It worked.  As it has for generations.  Sunday we celebrate a coming of age moment.  Please join us in worship this Sunday and rejoice with the Lehrian and Santo families as we witness Spencer and Jake make their public commitments of faith.  See you then.
Grace and peace be with you,
Pastor Michael
 
PS – there will be no adult class this week.  Elders who can make it, please meet in the lounge at 10:15 a.m.  Thanks.

HI all,
Oh my, isn’t it beautiful out there?  A day all of us have been longing for!  Enjoy. 
Our delight can continue and be shared tomorrow morning.  We will worship at 11:00 a.m. The praise ensemble will lead our voices and spirits in song.  The scripture passage is about doubt.  And faith. And the doubts many people in our world continue to have about the risen body of Christ…that is, the church. 
See you tomorrow morning!
Pastor Michael
 
The adult Bible class is beginning a new study based on the resource, “Living the Resurrection.”  Class begins at 9:45 in the lounge. 

Dear brothers and sisters,
CHRIST IS RISEN! 
One of the first things Jesus said to his disciples after his resurrection:  Peace be with you.  Then he breathed on them and said, Receive the Holy Spirit.  Wherever you spend your Easter morning – “Peace be with you.” 
HE IS RISEN INDEED!
Pastor Michael
