Easter News

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

We gather to celebrate the RESURRECTION this Sunday with our morning schedule as follows:

8:15 a.m. Worship

9:30 a.m. Sunday Church School classes

10:30 a.m. Worship

Our communion celebration for both services will be at the chancel steps, offering intinction and common cup.

Easter is, by far, the easiest Sunday to invite someone to attend worship with you, so let's pack the house for God!

EASTER SET UP HELP

Following our Good Friday worship (6:30 p.m.), we will dismantle the Lent decorations and set up for our Easter morning worship. We can use as many volunteers as are willing to help to remove wood, rocks, grasses (Lent), and set up flower stands, music stands, and aisle candles. This work should begin around 7:15 p.m. Friday night.

EASTER BASKET DELIVERY

Youth and adults will be delivering Easter baskets and food gift cards to the families in our Adopt-A-Family program on Saturday morning. Meet at the church at 9:00 a.m. if you wish to help!

NOAH'S ARK OFFERING

We will receive a special offering on Easter Sunday to help purchase 60 cubic yards of mulch for the playground at Noah's Ark Preschool (NAP). Our goal is $1500. NAP is a cooperative ministry between St. Paul's Lutheran Church and LCOS, and our own Linda Petersen is the director of the preschool, which is located at St. Paul's. Please generously share your financial blessings for this special children's ministry! Then, on Saturday, April 14, volunteers are invited to gather at St. Paul's (Wayne Ave.) to spread the mulch. A pizza lunch will be provided.

JLI FISH FRY

The annual Fish Fry at Faith Lutheran Church to benefit Jeremiah's Letter, Inc., will be held on Friday, April 13, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased from Suzanne Bruns or you can call Faith Lutheran (253-2156) to reserve tickets. Prices are: adults - $10 (advance)/$11 (at the door); children (10 and under) - $4.50. This is an all you can eat event! Matching funds are provided by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. You are asked to bring in-kind donations of cleaning products (dish and laundry detergent, bleach, etc.). Faith Lutheran Church is located at 3315 Martel Drive, off Patterson Road.
