Maundy Thursday Service, April 17th
Mark your calendars to be sure to attend this year’s Maundy Thursday Service which will be held at the Historic Site. We will be entering through the double doors on the right side of the building and gathering in Vaden Hall.
The Good Friday Service will be held in the sanctuary at the new site and will be led by our youth.
 Mission Impact Celebration Update:
What a blessed weekend we had! Our guest missionaries felt the love of Christ from all of you and felt renewed when they left us. It would be impossible to adequately thank all the volunteers who helped make our Mission Impact Celebration a success. Thank you for letting your light shine! Please continue to pray for our guest missionaries, and for the Outreach Team as we consider ministry partnerships and how to use what you have pledged to God through your Faith Promise. If you would like to be involved in the Outreach Team, please join us at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 15 at the new site. If you have questions, please call Kathy Heard.

Sweet Sleep Build a Bed Project
Please help Epworth Children's Ministry by donating new twin size bedding and foster care children bag items. You may leave items in the narthex or 3rd-4th grade classroom. Help support the Sweet Sleep ministry and help our Epworth children collect these much needed items for under-privileged children.
Easter Lilies Sale. Support our Youth Mission Trip.
The Youth will be decorating the altar on Easter morning with Lilies. They will be taking orders next Sunday if you would like to purchase one to honor or in memory of someone. The cost will be $10 and proceeds will go towards the cost of their mission trip to Joplin, Missouri this summer.
