A Word from the Pastor  
9 & 11 a.m. in Sanctuary  
There is mystery and majesty on this most amazing day of days.  At first there are only whispered rumors of an empty tomb.  Then the disciples begin to see him, the Risen Christ is present in their midst.  This is the Good News that changed the world and continues to change our lives.  "I have seen the Lord!" Mary Magdalene exclaims.  Join us as we shout along with her: Christ is risen!  Christ is risen indeed!  See you on Easter Sunday!
Rev. David Eardley

Christ is Risen! Thank you God.
Join us this Saturday at the Open Door at 6 p.m. as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and explore how His new life means we can have it too. We extend a special invitation to children and families because we will be doing a dove release after the service to symbolize the new life we have in Christ. See you Saturday and at again at 9 and 11 a.m. Sunday in the Sanctuary.
