Come, see the place where He was lying.”

Matthew 28:6

Preparing Our Hearts For Easter

Feeling unloved? Let down? Sidelined or uncared for? Have I got a thought and feeling fixer for you! Every year about this time I begin to contemplate what the Last 18 Hours of Jesus’ natural life on earth must have been like. It never fails to give me a new sense of God’s love for me, a spirit of gratitude and a heart full of worship for Him who did so much for me. As you prepare your heart for Easter, please take a few minutes to prayerfully read through Luke 22:14 – 23:49 with the below timeline in hand. As you read, ask yourself what those last 18 hours must have been like for our Lord.

NEW Intentional Discipleship Classes

Beginning Sunday, April 8 at 5:30 PM!

Early Church Discovery Guide

by Ray Vander Laan Led by Cecil Sanders; Meets in the Chapel

Real Faith, Real Life. For Christians today, faith in God

can sometimes seen to be a cerebral choice. For the early

church, it was the difference between life and death.

Come discover the passion and commitment early believ-

ers displayed as they claimed Jesus in the face of fierce

consequences and powerful adversaries.

Think Differently by James MacDonald

(Continues) Led by Mike Wehner; Cost: $10

Meets in Adult 1

Confident Parenting: Be the Parent Your Family

Needs by Jim Burns & Doug Fields Led by Joel Tucker; Cost: $5

Meets in the Choir Room

Somewhere in the busyness of life many of us have for-

gotten – or perhaps we weren’t even taught – the basics

of good parenting and our kids are suffering for it. We

have good intentions, but daily frustrations and ongoing

struggles might be evidence that we were better prepared

to drive a car or pursue our career than raise children.

Students

Jesus and The Ordinary Student Room

When we think of the way Jesus spent his time on earth

that last word we typically would use is ordinary. Every-

thing about him, from conception to resurrection, was

extraordinary and miraculous. In this study, students will

explore how a very extraordinary Jesus interacts with the

ordinary world around him. They’ll see when Jesus used

ordinary things for extraordinary purposes, the way he

transformed and repurposed the broken and “unusable,”

the things he values and why he values them, and the way

he uses ordinary people like us to advance his extraordi-

nary mission.

L ast November God used us

to reach out into our

'Jerusalem' of Headland

when each member invited at

least one person to attend a spe-

cial Morning Worship Service. It

was truly an uplifting and fruitful day. During 2018, we're

using the months with 5 Sundays to reach again to those

who need Jesus and His Church. Begin praying for God to

place your "One" upon your heart.
