From the Pastor's Heart

Church Family, 

 

2  Corinthians 13:8 says, "For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth." Paul loved the Corinthian church, but it was a headache for him. He had to deal with so many issues there, not least of which, those who questioned his authority and teaching. Now Paul had to often give them hard truths, that is, not truths hard to understand, but hard to receive. However, this verse summarizes why: he was bound by the truth. We must have that same conviction. The bible must be our authority, and that means learning and receiving hard truths, but committing ourselves to them regardless. We are bound to the truth. 

 

As for announcements, our Easter Egg Hunt will be taking place on April 12! So if you are able to help, cook, or provide any food or candy, please let the social team know. This is always a fun event that brings in lots of families and children to whom we get to share the good news of the gospel with! So be praying for the event, and if you come to serve, keep in mind the missional purpose of this event. It's fun, but it's so much more than that!

 

Second, the Mandatory Children's Meeting will be on April 19 at 8am. There is a sign-up available in the side wing of the sanctuary. Make plans to attend and learn as we will be using this event to try to get in line with our new policy handbook.

 

Finally, Easter Sunday is April 20! We will be having our Sonrise service at 7am and our regular worship service at 9am with breakfast in between. There will be no Sunday School and no 11am service that day. So make note of this change, and get ready to come worship on this special holiday! 

 

With that, I'll see you Sunday!
