Hello church family!
It's been calm these last two weeks as we settle down from Easter season, but it won't be calm for long! There are a lot of exciting things coming up in the life of our church, but first let's recap what happened over the last month. 

Updates


EASTER EGG HUNT
Over 250 people came out to join us for our Easter Egg Hunt on April 13 at Mt. Horeb. We didn't let the drizzle get us down, and we had a blast hunting eggs, playing games, and getting our faces painted. Mrs. Ashley shared how jelly beans reminded her of the story of Easter, and everyone got to take home a goody bag with their own jelly beans kit outlining the Gospel story. A special thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who made this day possible! 

Palm Sunday
We had two beautiful Palm Sunday services on April 14. Here are a few pictures for those who may have missed it. 

Maundy Thursday
We had a wonderful cast for our Maundy Thursday reenactment of Jesus washing the disciples' feet and the last supper. Those who were in the audience were blessed by their portrayal as well as Jason's words about service and humility. 

Good Friday 
At our Good Friday service, seven members of the church shared a devotion on the seven last phrases Jesus said while on the cross. While they were speaking, Jason and Eddie chalked this beautiful picture to remind us of the price Jesus paid.

Easter
We had three beautiful services on Easter morning to celebrate Jesus' resurrection, with a total of 417 people in attendance! He is risen indeed!
