Preparing For Sunday
Sunday we celebrate the good news of Jesus' triumph over death with the conviction that what happened to Jesus will also happen to us. Peter preaches the good news: Jesus, judge of the living and the dead, offers forgiveness. Isaiah (ALT) imagines a new heaven and new earth re-created as God desires them to be. Paul reminds us that Christ is now our life, and we have set our hearts on him. In the gospel, the tomb is empty, and the risen Jesus reassures Mary Magdalene of his victory.

Water, Water, Everywhere!
We have the exciting opportunity to participate in a matching fund drive with the Episcopal Relief & Development's Clean Water program. Some of the options of helping a country without drinkable water are: to buy a share of a well to be drilled, to install water purification and irrigation systems, or to educate and promote sanitation practices. Your opportunity to give will be during the 3 Sundays, April 3rd, 10th, and 17th. Please donate generously to promote this worthy sustainable development of clean water, a commodity that we so often take for granted.

Thrift Store Volunteer Staff Members Needed
The Thrift Store is looking for new volunteer staff members to work on Fridays between the hours of 10:00 and 1:00. Because of scheduling conflicts two of our staff have had to discontinue their work at the store. If this is a ministry that you think you would like to be involved in, you can stop in any Friday between 10:00 and 1:00 to see what it is that we do or to visit the store for the first time if you have never been there. Of course, any member of the congregation can stop in any Friday for a visit whether they are volunteering or now; you are always welcome. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact me via E-mail . Please put "Thrift Store" in the subject line.
The thrift store is in need of seasonal and children's clothing.
