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.

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.
