Announcements – April 7 2023

Friday April 7, 2023
Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Tonight we will gather at 6:00 PM for our annual Good Friday Service of Worship.
Everyone is encouraged to join us, and please be sure to invite your family, friends, and neighbors as well. We will read God’s Word together, and sing the hymns of the faith that speak of that first Good Friday, when our Lord and Savor died for our sins.
Our Good Friday message will come from Revelation 20:14, and is entitled, “The Death of Death: Jesus Died for Me.”
Then on Easter Morning, following Sunday School, we will come together on the Lord’s Day to celebrate the truth of the bodily resurrection of Jesus!
Our sermon will be taken from Luke 24:36-43, which details one of the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus.
I look forward to seeing you all tonight, and may our Lord bless you richly on this special day!
I love you so much,
Mike
