7 April 2017 – Advent Announcements

April 9, Palm Sunday – Standing in Humility: The crowds on Palm Sunday welcomed Jesus, waving palm branches and shouting, “Hosanna!” That word means “Save us now!” and soon Jesus would do just that. We welcome our Savior and celebrate the salvation he won for us through his death and resurrection. From our humble King we learn to live in humility towards one another.

April 13, Maundy Thursday– Standing in Faith: On the night he was betrayed, Jesus gave to his disciples and to us the holy meal that is his body and blood. As we receive this gift we stand together in faith, trusting in the words of our Lord. Through his holy Supper our Savior nourishes our faith and strengthens our fellowship. We are one body in Christ, and as we partake of his holy meal we remember and proclaim his redeeming death until he comes again. Come, Lord Jesus!

Call Committee: The call committee interviewed two pastors last week and have invited both to visit. Mark the dates to meet them – April 25 and  April 27. Their profiles, interview questions, and notes of their responses are in the green binder in the narthex. Your questions, feedback, suggestions, and especially your prayers are welcome and encouraged!

The call committee will meet at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 11 at church and on Tuesday, May 2, location tbd.

Parking Lot Paving: Thanks to a very generous donor who is providing funds, we will be having our parking lot paved!! It is currently scheduled for May 1 through 5. During that time, we will (obviously) not be able to use the parking lot. Mid-week Bible studies and choir should plan accordingly.

Worship Leaders: Pastor James McDaniels on April 9, April 16, May 7, May 14, and Holy Week services; Pastor Greg Williamson on April 23; Pastor Larry Lineberger on April 30.
