What a fantastic year we have had so far - it was wonderful to take in 5 new members at our Membership Celebration on March 21st.  We also celebrated Sister Betty Hensley's birthday.  It was a blessed day!

April begins tomorrow.  We are starting off with beautiful days - no "April fool" either!! (If Jesus tarries) We have a jam-packed month.  This Friday, Good Friday, at noon we will have our annual via de la rosa, spelled a number of ways.  This is in appreciation of and to remember the walk to Calvary that our Lord made with much pain and agony.  Bro. Ronnie Shifflett will portray Jesus and others will follow along as scoffers as well as followers. 

Easter Sunday, at 10 A.M. we will have our Easter drama, "It is Finished", directed by Hollie Lahocki.  The play speaks for itself and will be filled with some wonderful, special music.  We will conclude with communion.  Easter Sunday night - no service! 

Our Angel Food Ministries host site activities are going well.  Orders online must be in by April 12, onsite orders by Friday, April 9.  If you have not participated, but would like to, just call me at 746-0624 or Glenda Breeden, 820-6586!

On Tuesday, April 13, I will start my new Bible Study at Journey's Crossing Assisted Living.  I am excited!!

Our "Great Reawakening" with Dr. Ron Phillips, and his wife, Paulette, will be Monday through Wednesday, April 19-21!  We are expecting the community churches to rally and be blessed during this great series of services.  Each night services will start at 7:00 P.M.  Wednesday, the 21st will be a special day with a continental breakfast for Pastors and spouses, leaders, etc. from 9-10 A.M. followed by a special session with Dr. Phillips at 10 A.M.  That afternoon, we will have a Blissful Afternoon Tea with Paulette Phillips at 2:30 P.M.  All ladies are invited but we MUST have an RSVP by April 15!  We will be blessed by Paulette while enjoying tea, sweets, and sandwiches together! 

On Sunday, April 25, we will celebrate Glendon's birthday, (Pastor's husband, by the way).   No night service.

So, no Sunday night services at all this coming month of April - but we have lots planned!

And don't forget...every Wednesday night, Faith Cafe Bible Study.  We are studying "Forgiveness...the real "F" word", a great study by Ed Young!  Come join us at 7:00 P.M!

Blessings on each of you,

Pastor Barb
