The Spring Work Party is also an opportunity for students to earn a serving credit towards their Kids Camp (2nd - 5th graders) or Youth Summer Camp (6th - 12th graders) cost. Students must work alongside their parents at the work party. For more information about the camp serving credit, please contact Pastor Jeremy or Pastor Conner.

Many hands make for light work! We’ll see you on the 28th.

We’re excited to meet together on Wednesday, April 1st in the East Auditorium at 7pm for a Passover Seder Experience. All ages will come together for this interactive, meaningful evening. The Hebrew word Seder means “order.” The Seder Experience has a specific order in which a taste of different foods are eaten, prayers are recited, and songs are sung. Each item has a specific historical meaning related to the exodus of the Jews from Egypt and their freedom from slavery. In the Seder, there are several strong symbols of Christ. 1 Corinthians 5:7 identifies Jesus Christ as our Passover; so the Seder carries a New Testament meaning related to Jesus the Messiah.

Please plan to join us for this special evening as we focus on Jesus with grateful hearts for all He has done on our behalf. If you can RSVP beforehand so we can make sure we have enough elements for everyone participating in the Seder Experience, we would greatly appreciate it!

For those with small children 3 and under, nursery classrooms will be available.

“IT IS FINISHED.”

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. - John 19:30 (NIV)

The Meaning of Baptism

To be baptized is to clothe oneself with Christ (Mark 10:38-39; Luke 12:50). Christian baptism is in a sense a sharing of his death and resurrection and all that brought Christ to those events (Romans 6:1-7; Colossians 2:12). Baptism shows that a person has died to the old way of life and has been raised to a new kind of life – eternal life in Christ (Matthew 28:19-20; Colossians 3:1; 2 Timothy 2:11). The resurrection from the water points to the Christian’s resurrection (Romans 6:1-16).
