ANNOUNCEMENTS AND INFORMATION

April 8, 2012
FROM THE PASTOR
SHOUTING TIME A generation ago, one of Englands best known pastors found himself suffering from a strange muscular disease. He lost the use of his legs and in time even the use of his voice. He could still, however, use his arms and fingers to write. Thus it was that on an Easter morning when he could no longer preach, he wrote a letter to his daughter. It is terrible, he wrote, to wake up on Easter morning and have no voice to shout, He is risen!but it would be still more terrible to have a voice and not want to shout. He died of the disease shortly afterward. But those who knew him would have testified that with his faithful spirit, he surely died shouting, The Lord is risen! The Lord is risen indeed.

Everyone that is interested in helping in Vacation Bible School is asked to stay for a few minutes to attend this meeting. If you have questions, see Steve and Hazel Ray. ____________ Mother Daughter Luncheon Ladies, mark your calendars! The Annual Mothers Day- MotherDaughter Luncheon will be th Saturday, May 12 at 1:00 p.m. at Justins Restaurant. Sign-up on the bulletin board. For more info, see Toni Shultz. ____________ The earliest reference to the Resurrection is Saint Pauls, and he makes no mention of an empty tomb at all. What convinced the people that he had risen from the dead was not the absence of his corpse but his living presence. And so it has been ever since.

This two weekend kids event will begin Sunday, st April 1 , with an Easter FiEGGsta Egg Hunt followed by The Resurrection FiEGGsta on th Easter Sunday, April 8 during the normal Childrens Church time. Children from ages 3 th years 6 grade are welcome to attend. Have an EggCiting Easter! Thanks, Joe!

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 Sunday. We will have services at the regular time in the a.m. service today. 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. _____________ Hallelujah! Christ has risen! Let us join our hearts, our hands and our voices in celebration of this miraculous day and the promise it brings to all!

He is not here; He has risen just as he said Matthew 28:6
