Announcements for April 5, 2009

Next Sunday we will continue our study in Romans/James. Our Scripture reference is Romans 15:14-33.

Cross Of Flowers

Prior to our Resurrection Day worship service on Easter Sunday, we will be decorating a cross with flowers brought from home. We encourage children of God of every age to bring flowers to the church and help us decorate the cross. We hope this will not only provide an opportunity for parents to talk with their children about the significance of Christ's death and resurrection but an opportunity to participate in remembering the hope His resurrection brings to each person as well. As you arrive for worship on Easter Sunday, please place your flowers in the cross.

"Christ In The Passover" In Our Area

A calendar of "Christ in the Passover" presentations in our area given by "Jews for Jesus" is available this morning in the information centers. The meetings take place from March 21 through April 11 and reveal the prophetic picture of the Lord Jesus as celebrated in the traditional Jewish Passover meal.
