Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey." (Zech. 9:9) On this occasion, for a brief period of time, Jesus heard the words of praise and adoration He justly deserved. But those moments were fleeting. Jesus knew He was fulfilling scripture, and nearing the time when He would give His life as the perfect sacrifice for sin, the Lamb of God. Jesus as the Sinless Sacrifice! "Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins." (Hebrews 9:14)

SOUP LABELS & MEDICINE BOTTLES The Ladies Ministry is collecting Campbell Soup labels for the Smoky Mountain Childrens Home. The Home collects these labels to purchase a van for the Home. The Iris B. Vest Widows Care Center uses empty medicine bottles to make crafts so bring in your empty medicine bottle, also. There will be containers for these items in the lobby. Thanks! _____________ EASTER- Resurrection Sunday Easter is Sunday April 8 . We will have services at the regular time in the a.m. service. Most of you have parents, grandparents, children and extended family members that you will be visiting so there will NOT be a 6:00 p.m. service so that you may have extra time to spend with your family. _____________ Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

If you have any questions, see Steve and Hazel Ray! ____________ It is said that Thomas Jefferson was a religious man. He even left us with a personal copy of his Bible. But in Jeffersons Bible every reference to the divine power of Christ is scratched out. Why he did this is not clear, but the results are clear. For then the gospel ends with the record of a tomb sealed and guarded against would-be grave robbers If Jesus is still dead and buried somewhere, then all of our hopes are as dead as the stone that sealed his tomb. And so you have a choice of Bibles at Easter. Jeffersons Bible or one that contains the 11 most important words ever expressed: He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.
