From the Pastor’s Desk
April 2025


As we enter the month of April I want to ask that you would join with me in prayer for our community and those around us. People everywhere are hurting in one way or another and many people are scared, especially those around us who are most vulnerable. Pray with me that we would have eyes to see them and an overwhelming desire to help. Because it is precisely at this time of year that we remember that we received the greatest gift and help of all, Jesus’ death and resurrection.


We are coming up quickly on Easter and with it we have several opportunities for you to join with us in worship and also in outreach. If you’ll remember, last year at our Easter egg hunt we had over 150 people come in to our facilities and participate with us. We would love for you to find someone on the education team, Melissa, or Allison and ask them how you can get involved in helping with this ministry to our community. The egg hunt will take place on Saturday, April 19 at 2pm. Before that, we will have a youth event with activities and lunch for them as well as utilizing them to hide the eggs throughout the church. This youth event will start at 10am on Saturday, April 19 as well.


On Thursday, April 17 at 5:30pm we will have our annual Maundy Thursday service. Make plans to attend and join us for a reflective time on the sacrifice Jesus made for us.


I want to encourage you that our church is doing some really good work. We have had some visitors who are turning into regular attenders, and we are reaching out to our community in many different ways. Please keep an eye out for the many ways you can get involved and serve your community with the love of God.


I love you,


Pastor Drew
