Minister’s Corner

Shalom aleikhem! שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם Peace be upon you!

Christ is Risen!

He is Risen Indeed!

Although a week has passed for the Western Christian World since the celebration of our Lord’s resurrection, the Eastern Christian World celebrates Easter this weekend and thus the Eastern Easter Greeting is still relevant today. Rather than asking who is right and who is wrong on the dates, I decided to embrace both and take the opportunity to celebrate double. Not long-ago Pat was preaching about this celebration in Jerusalem that was so joyful and memorable that the people decided to keep the holiday going for another week. Let it be so with us as we celebrate Easter anew again today with our Eastern Orthodox Family.

This Wednesday – April 19^th – Family Time & Question in the Box

On Wednesday, we will meet in person for our Family Time at 6:00PM for those of you who want to bring their meal and eat it in the company of other brothers and sisters. This is our bi-weekly fellowship meal.

From 7PM, a question was asked regarding the role of men & women in the church. I will send more information tomorrow.

Birthdays this week: Robin Randall (18^th)

Zoom Bible Reading – Monday & Thursday – 7:15PM

We are currently reading through 2 Chronicles. Please join us.

Leslie & I purchased the needed items to feed the group and would appreciate your support in the preparation/presentation. Please ask Leslie for directions on the needed help.

Under 5 Children’s Church during Sermon
