Hello Friends Family!
This Sunday, we spring forward!! Yay!!
(We can sacrifice an hour of sleep for a little more evening sunshine, right?)
Have you heard the spring peepers the last couple of days? One of my favorite sounds of the year!
The days are getting longer. The crocuses are pushing up through the ground. Spring is on its way!
And with spring comes the greatest celebration in history — the resurrection of Jesus Christ! We have a full Holy Week planned as a church family to remember with awe and gratitude all that God has done. Grab an invite card this Sunday and invite a friend!

Women's Event - March Madness; Finding Joy in Maddening Situations
Ladies, Have you ever felt like joy was out of reach when life feels especially heavy? Join us for an evening of encouragement with Theresa Maxin as she teaches from James 1:2.This promises to be a meaningful night — filling us up and sending us out with renewed joy.Invite a friend and we will see you from 6-8pm in the Church Cafè.Please indicate if childcare is needed.Theresa is a passionate lover of Jesus Christ. Her love for Jesus, character traits and life’s challenges are born from laughter, adventure, and deep sorrow; a triple threat when servingJesus! Theresa has a pioneering and overcoming spirit which has served her well all her life. Jesus got a hold of her heart in her mid-twenties and she surrendered her life to Him in 1992.God has given her the greatest adventures when she married a crazy guy named Greg in 1993,and she gave life to amazing children, Noah and Molly. Her greatest faith challenge came when her son, Noah, was diagnosed with cancer and passed away at the sweet age of eleven in 2007. Through the valley of the shadow of death, the Lord raised her up with the power of the resurrection and called her to speak and share her stories so that others will be encouraged to trust Jesus.Theresa loves to study God’s Word, worship Jesus, and watch others become who they are born to be as followers of Him. She loves to travel, play Hand and Foot cards with her best friendsfrom high school, golf, drink strong coffee, decorate, cook, and meet new people.Her hope and prayer are that you will be encouraged by her God Stories, and realize just how loved you are by your Father in heaven.
