Their Light Still Shines!
Our annual honor/memorial Easter candles help fund our Youth Trip Scholarship Fund to aid our youth in covering the cost of the various trips and retreats throughout the year. Money should never be the reason one of our youth cannot participate. To purchase your candle in honor or memory of a loved one, pick up a form in the foyer or church office. For each name remembered or honored, cost is $10. You can pay via check (mark "Easter Candle" in the memo), online, or via our Vanco mobile app (look for "Easter Candles"). Deadline for reservation is Wednesday, April 1.

Easter Worship Help Needed
We need your help to make Easter Sunday welcoming and hospitable for all who attend. Easter day is always a wonderful morning of worship and hope within the life of the church. It is a day we see new faces as well as faces we haven't seen in a while. We will offer worship at 8:30 am and 10:45 am. Please consider joining our 8:30 am worship so that we have plenty of room for those who show up at 10:45. We will need greeters, ushers, candle lighters and communion servers for both services. Please click here and see how you can aid someone in experiencing God in worship Resurrection Day!
We do best the things we do together!
