This week we will be providing a brief devotional video from Pastor Dean for each day from Monday April 14 through Saturday April 19 to help us experience Jesus’ passion together throughout the week and we will also host a midweek experiential evening for people of all ages on Maundy Thursday. Please pray for anyone you know who may be open to joining in one or more of the upcoming services. This week, let’s experience His passion together!
PALM SUNDAY WORSHIP | 9AM. Tomorrow we will worship God in song, prayer, lifting palm branches and learning as Pastor Dean brings our Palm Sunday message, Unswayed by the Crowd from Matthew 21:1-11. If you are unable to gather with us in person, please visit the livestream or view the sermon recording here. Also, sermon recordings are available online mid-day Monday.
CHILDREN’S MINISTRY. We are in the middle of a 3 month series – Treasuring the Gospel. Each week, children will be learning about one of 10 essential truths of our faith and becoming a disciple of Jesus. We will be discussing key Scripture through the head, heart, hands approach; engaging kids in understanding through discussion, illustrations, and activities; and sending home a memory verse and discussion prompts to continue discipleship as a family. At the end of the series, every child will take home a treasure box filled with symbols representing each gospel truth and a corresponding key that they will be able to keep and share for years to come. For any questions regarding Children’s Ministry policies and procedures or interest in volunteering, please contact Becky Newquist.
This week: Gospel Truth #6: God is Merciful PLUS a bonus Palm Sunday activity
