Weekly Update - 4/8 - 10:29pm

Thank you Patrick for the very inspiring lesson this morning "The Empty Tomb Opens My Eyes"!  The text was taken from Matthew 28:1-10.

Jacob Rodgers was baptized this morning!  He is the son of James Ray Rodgers and Julie Rodgers.  Jacob we are so happy for you and your decision to be baptized.  You have many new brothers and sisters that will be there for you at any time. 

The only prayer request that I received this morning was for Lorene Butler.  She is Jerry McFadden's mother.  They were taking her to the ER for another possible blood clot.

New Directory Photo Sign-up: Please click on this link to go directly to the Lifetouch website. You can set up your family appointment in about 2 minutes! You pick the day and the time and then they give you very clear instructions to follow. Very simple!
Each family will receive a free directory and a $10 gift certificate toward the purchase of any extra photographs.  We will also have "Pantry Bags" available if you choose to donate to our benevolence pantry.  Those bags have an extra $5 gift certificate printed on them.  No purchase or donation is required for your family to be in the directory.
MISSION TRIPS: We have 3 of our young ladies who will be going on mission trips this summer... McKenna Jones will be going to Africa in May for 3 weeks, Paige Shaw (Danny and Mindy Bulls' daughter) will be going to Japan and Bailey Cannon will be going to Zambia in July for 2 1/2 weeks.
SIMPLE SUPPER: This weeks' entree is Salisbury Steak. These wonderful meals are still only $2. If you didn't sign up, this morning, and would like to join us for food and fellowship, call the church office by noon on Tuesday.
