An Important Holy Week Update

Posted on by Pastor Mike in Christ, Church, God, Jesus, Kids Programs, Pastor's Notes, Scriptures, Sermons, worship

Hello everyone and welcome to Holy Week.

There has been some confusion as to whether our Bible studies and Life Groups are continuing during Passion Week (or Holy Week) and the answer is absolutely yes.  In addition, we will be holding our Good Friday and Resurrection Day services this weekend.

Good Friday:  6:30pm Friday, April 3rd ~ “The Original Black Friday” from John 19:1-22 (followed by Communion.)  The worship music will be amazing, I hope you can join us for this special service as we prepare our hearts for Resurrection Sunday.  (Note: Your Digging Deeper Bible study notes are attached.)

Resurrection Day Celebration Sunday, April 5th ~ “He Is Risen” from Matthew 27:51-28:7a.  Our Resurrection Day Service will be filled with special music (ten songs) and a message that is sure to touch your heart.  (Note: Your Digging Deeper Bible study notes are attached.)

We need your help this Sunday!

Based on our attendance last week for Palm Sunday, we need to prepare for a very large attendance this Sunday.

Be Mindful Of Visitors

Resurrection Sunday is by far the biggest service of the year.  This is when visitors are most likely to come, especially when they receive a personal invitation.  Please be looking for people that you don’t know in the Sanctuary and around the church campus, it would be awesome if you could help us make them feel welcome.  Cheryl and I will be doing all we can, but we can only cover so much territory.  Thank you for any help!

Park Creatively

The quickest way to turn a visitor away is to not have any parking spots; we’ve seen it in the past.  There are several options we can do to open more spaces:

  • Park along the east side of the property creatively, but not blocking the traffic lane.
  • Park down by the church office, we have additional 8 spots there.
  • Park on the lawns by the horseshoe pits and even the lawn in front of the church office.
  • Park out on the streets and walk in.
  • Carpool to lessen the cars this Sunday.

Thank you for working with us to make the experience this weekend something special for everyone.

Desserts

I wonder if any of you would be willing to bring desserts for Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday to share with the church family?  It would be nice to have a nice assortment of treats for our visitors and regular attendees.

Note:  After the service we will also have a full sheet cake to celebrate Resurrection Sunday along with the grand re-opening of our church facility.

Overflow Room With Livestream

This Sunday we plan to have 40 seats set up in the Passover Room to be an overflow room as we can only have 296 people in the Sanctuary.  Harry and Caroline Able have graciously offered to be the hosts and we hope that a lot of our regulars would consider joining them for this one Sunday to open seats in the Sanctuary for first time visitors.  A sacrifice this week may bring a visitor back again in the future.

Children’s Ministry

Pastor Isaiah is working hard to get at least three workers in every children’s Sunday School Classroom.  If you are an approved worker and can help, that would be wonderful.

Adult Sunday School

We still having our usual Adult Sunday School classes on Resurrection Sunday, I hope you can be there at 9:30am.  Don’t forget that prayer time is at 8:30am in Room 101.

I know this is a lot, but this is also a very special day.  Thank you again for all your help as we attempt to reach people in our community for Jesus Christ.  Happy Resurrection Day!!

In Christian Love,
