Dear covenant family,

Luke 24:6 - “He is not here, but He has risen”.

It’s Easter this Sunday! His death and resurrection are at the core of our Christian Faith. It is a great time to invite friends and family to join us this Friday at 6.00 pm for a Good Friday Communion Service and Sunday at 9.30 a.m. for our breakfast, 10.45 service and Easter egg hunt afterwards. Look forward to join you this weekend to know a Savior of whom we can say “He is risen”!

Good Friday and Easter
April 6 - Communion service on Good Friday at 6 p.m.
April 8 - Breakfast at 9.30. Everyone is encouraged to sign up to bring either juice, fruit, casserole, bread/biscuit or sweets. Sign up sheet available in lobby or call Linda Davis at 756-4154.
Easter Service at 10.45. We hope to have children performances, a skit, special music, testimony and a Gospel Presentation. This service is designed to be family-friendly, visitor welcoming and Gospel Presenting. This is a great time to bring the entire family and invite your friends. Let’s pray that God would bring folks to a saving knowledge of himself.
We’ll end our Easter Celebration with a church wide Easter Egg Hunt at 12.00.

Preparations for Easter Egg Hunt – Help us this Saturday at 10
We could still use ‘stuffing’ – candy for the eggs.
