Certainly you are welcome to come in for prayer at anytime and you can stay as long as you want, but we would like to have someone here in prayer through the entire 6 hour time period.
† EASTER EGG HUNT Once again the Board of Education (with a lot of help from our Lutheran Youth Fellowship) is sponsoring the annual Easter Egg Hunt. The excitement begins right after the 9:00 am Easter Worship Service at 10:30 am, so bring your own basket and get ready for some fun.
† HE IS RISEN EASTER BREAKFAST SIGN-UP An Early Easter Sunrise Service calls for a new early riser breakfast menu. This year LWML will provide biscuits, gravy, and scrambled eggs. There is a sign-up sheet available in the narthex on the round table for others to help out with: fruit, juice, milk, sweet rolls, paper plates, and cups.
† GRADUATES In the May issue of the Shepherd’s Staff we want to recognize all those who are graduating or have graduated this school year from either high school, college, or trade school. If you would like your student included, please submit a photo along with a bio to the church office by Tuesday, April 23.
† NO THURSDAY MORNING bible class this week.
† EASTER LILIES There is a sign-up sheet on the round table in the narthex for Easter lilies. It would be nice to have at least 20 lilies to adorn the sanctuary for Easter. Thanks for your help.
† LWML QUARTERLIES The LWML Spring quarterlies are on the table by the nursery in the narthex.
† SUMMER HELP WANTED Doug S. is looking for a Jr High or High School aged student to help him out with light yard work on Saturdays this summer. If you would like to earn some extra money this summer and are available Saturdays, contact Doug.
† NURSERY/CRY ROOM Should your child become distressed or distract others during the service, a furnished nursery/cry room is located in the narthex for your use. Please ask one of the ushers if you need directions.
† PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex by nursery) and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace.
