Dear Church Family,
Easter comes early this year, so I want to encourage you to help us celebrate the resurrection of our Savior in a few different ways.
First, I want to encourage you to participate in all that will be happening.
Easter Egg Hunt – On March 23rd @ 10:00 am we will have our community-wide egg hunt. If you have children/grandchildren make plans to enjoy this awesome event for families. Invite your friends, family, and neighbors to come for a day of fun and fellowship. Also, if you can volunteer to help make this event happen, please do so. You can call the church office @ 812-476-3450 to let us know if you can help serve.
Good Friday Night of Worship – On March 29th @ 6:30 pm we will have our Good Friday Night of Worship. This is always a moving and meaningful service that helps us to reflect of Christ’s great sacrifice as well as prepare our hearts to celebrate our risen Savior on Easter Sunday Morning.
Easter Sunday – On March 31st we will celebrate our risen Savior in three Sunday morning worship services @ 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00 am. Remember there will be no Life Groups on Easter Sunday morning, which will allow us to maximize our parking for all three services.
Second, I want to encourage our church family to get in the habit of doing three things now that will help us be ready for our Easter Sunday services. Our church is blessed with a surge in worship attendance, and we need to do a few things to make sure we have room for people. Would you do these few things to help us?
- Move Up - Commit to moving up a few rows from where you normally sit.
- Fill In – Commit to fill in the middle sections of our worship seating first.
- Park Away - If you are physically able, park further away from the building to allow space for our guests to park
closer. Our pastors and deacons’ families have committed to parking on the back side of our church building to help with this situation as well. With your help we can maximize the parking that we have to help our guests park for worship.
These are simple things to do that will make a significant impact. Moving up and in will help people find a seat as they enter for worship. Also, we have recently heard of people driving on to our parking lot to park, only to not find a space and drive away. Let’s do all we can to keep that from happening.
Finally, I want to say thank you to our church family for faithfully ministering each week. Our South Campus is open and full all week long offering ministry to the people of our community. From 6:00 am to 8:15 pm Monday through Friday. Our North Campus is busy Monday through Friday from 3:00 - 6:00 pm with ministry and then on two
Saturdays out of the month our food pantry ministry is serving others as well. Then on Sundays at South Campus we have three morning worship services with Life Groups. On Sunday nights our student ministry is active ministering to students, along with a few adult Life Groups. Then we have our Hispanic church service worshipping the Lord as well with a growing number of people in that congregation.
God is so good to us!! Thank you for being willing to serve, give, and go to make the name of Jesus famous in our world!!!
I love you and I love being your pastor!
