RENOVATIONS MOVING FORWARD

As you can see, the dust is flying in our sanctuary. The floor has been repaired, pews have been ordered, and the stage is currently being rebuilt with updated wiring.

All of these renovations are possible as a result of your continued generous giving.

“THE SECRET TO JOY & PEACE

WITHOUT WINNING THE

LOTTERY”

Facilitated by: David McPherson

5-week Study Beginning Sunday — April 3

6:30 PM Common Ground Classroom

CARPET AND WALL COLORS

There will be a Special Called

Business Meeting scheduled for April 10 immediately following the worship service to revisit the carpet and wall colors for the sanctuary renovation project. This should be a

very short meeting, and we hope everyone can attend.

Also, our regular Quarterly Business

Meeting is scheduled for April 24 immediately following worship.

A WORD FROM

THE MUSIC MINISTER

Thanks to all of you who made Easter Sunday a glorious time of worship and celebration! To those in the choir and orchestra and to those working with our tech teams, we thank you for giving your time and talent to be a part of worship here at FBC. We appreciate your willingness to serve, and it continues to be our prayer that God will use these services to grow His kingdom.

“The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come” (Song of Songs 2:11-12). We hope you will prayerfully consider becoming involved with the Music Ministry this spring as we fellowship with one another on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. We would love for you to join us as we prepare new music for Sunday worship. If your gift is playing an instrument, then we invite you to check out our church orchestra. Please contact the music office if you have questions regarding either of these two groups. We look forward to seeing you!

GREETINGS FROM OUR HISPANIC CONGREGATION!

He is risen, and because He lives, we live! This truth is what makes Christianity so unique and real. Our God was victorious over death, rose from the dead and desires to have a relationship with us sinners. To God be the glory!

O n E a s t e r S u n d a y , o u r congregation enjoyed breakfast together followed by a special time of worship. Our drama team delivered an excellent performance of two skits they had prepared especially for Easter. Please pray that this ministry will impact countless lives as we continue to rejoice in our risen Savior.

DIOS te bendiga (God bless you).
