Our anthem for Sunday, Walkin’ in the Shadows by Ken Dosso, encourages us, as we walk through the shadows of this world, to hold out our light, for “He walks beside, his hand is strong, you’re not alone”, and we need to be fruitful and “tell the world about the Son and victories won”.

Operation Sharehouse
Our church will be joining together on Sunday, May 2 in our Fellowship Hall to package a portion of the 3.5 million meals that will be prepared and distributed this year to those in need. Throughout Lent we will be asking you to make weekly donations of $.25 for each meal you eat ($30 for 40 days of Lent to support this project. The money that we collect directly relates to how much food we are able to pack in May. Last year we helped to pack over 15,000 meals in two hours which equated to $3,750. We would like to surpass that this year, which we can easily do with everyone’s help.
Your sacrifices will provide food for others for $.25 a meal.
 
 
Easter Flowers
If you would like to purchase a plant (lilies, tulips, hydrangeas, etc.)
in memory or in honor of a loved one to decorate our Sanctuary

Because we believe in Jesus Christ,
it is our mission to show the love of Christ
through our actions and service to all.
We will accomplish our mission
by showing the love of Christ through our hands,
in service to all, our heads in learning and growing
in the knowledge of Christ,
and our hearts in ministries of love.
