A Moment With Pastor Fred

In three weeks we will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord – though technically every Sunday is Easter. We meet not on the Sabbath (Saturday) but on the first day of the week (Sunday) because Jesus rose from the dead. And yet Easter is special.

On April 20, our annual breakfast will be held here in the auditorium at 9:15am. Please sign up choosing what dish you wish to bring. It helps knowing how many of a specific dish we have coming, or we could end up having 20 servings of bacon … well, would that be bad? J  Also please indicate the number attending with you. That includes your guests. This helps setting up how many tables we need, etc. Sue Depoorter will also need others assisting her that Sunday morning. After breakfast we’re take the tables down and reset the chairs for the service.   

Please invite others to attend. Mary has enclosed a beautiful invitation card in the bulletin. Your homework assignment is to give this to someone this week inviting them to the breakfast and service. Just think if half of those invited came! Easter along with Christmas are wonderful opportunities to invite others to church. This is one of those “come and see” events. Let’s pray for a great service. He is risen!

Before Easter is Good Friday. For years now we have met together with Covenant Life Community Church. It’s good for us – and for CLCC to be together. We’re not alone – we’re part of a wider body, the Body of Christ. For years we switched from hosting it ourselves to Covenant Life hosting, but with their new building and the number of people who attend, their auditorium seats more. This year I’ve been asked to preach. Please come and join in the wonderful time of worship and fellowship.
