PASTOR’S CORNER

I can’t believe we have already had Easter! What a glorious Sunday it was. I am always amazed that I can get up that early for Sunrise Service. Over my last 47 years of ministry I have cooked breakfast for many and been blessed for it. Easter worship is always great because we have visitors who need to hear the hope and joy that comes

with Easter and Christ’s resurrection.

Spring has also arrived and with it allergies, beautiful flowers and the opportunity to experience God’s beauty and creation all over again. We have already planned great things for the summer and I’m excited about all the new things that are happening around the church. This summer we plan on having Soccer Bible Club again and Family Potluck and Movie Nights.

This month our own Erik Pieper has written a play called “The Healing of Naaman.” It is based on an Old Testament story of his encounter with the prophet Elijah with a little of a modern twist. It will be a dinner theater and you need to keep your ears open for the rest of the details. It will be April 23rd, so set aside that date for a fun evening.

PASTOR’S CORNER

Easter Sunday I began a new Sermon Series called #JOY – BEYOND

HAPPINESS. In this powerful new study on the Book of Philippians you'll

discover the difference between happiness and Joy and how you can experience the lasting Joy that God wants for your life. The series will

be as follows:

March 27th The Joy of Easter

April 3rd Experiencing Joy No Matter What

April 10th The Secret to Joy In My Relationships

April 17th The Daily Joy Workout

April 24th Finding Joy Through Life’s Storms

May 1st Pastor Chuckua Preaching

May 8th How to Keep From Stressing Out

May 15th The Keys to Eternal Joy

May 22nd The Joy of Generous Giving

I’m hoping that you all will commit to being here for the entire series as I believe your life will change as we study the Book of Philippians and learn

Blessings, Pastor Dave

U.M.C MARKET FUNDRAISER

In February we received a check for $23.10 from The U.M.C. Market. This is another way to help your general fund when you make purchases over the internet. Internet shopping in places like Best Buy and many other internet shopping stores. There is an article in The Feather every month about the U.M.C. Market. Go to the web site and find out what stores are listed. If you shop on any of them you could make purchases on the U.M.C. Market and our church budget will benefit from your purchases. This is another way to help our general fund church budget. Thank youJohn S. FowlerChairman Finance Committee

CHURCH SHARE CARDS

GOOD NEWS ON

RALEY'S AND FOOD MAXX SHARE CARDS

This is a new update on how our church share cards are doing as a fundraiser for our church general fund. We receive a check from Food Maxx once every three months. In February we received a check from Food Maxx for $238.92. We receive a check from Raley's every three months as well. In January we received a check from Raley's for $77.59.

If you don't have a Food Maxx share card see Ginger Ewalt or the volunteer in the office at the

church. If you don't have a Raley's Something

Extra Card ask for a card when you are shopping

in Raley's. Raley's does require you to designate

how much you want to come back to your church. You can do this on your own computer.

If you don't have a computer or you are having

trouble doing this ask somebody that has a

computer at the church to help you.

Put the two cards together and we have made $316.51 for our church budget so far this year.

When you pay for your groceries give your card

to the clerk and they will scan your card for you.

What an easy way to help our church budget.

Thank youJohn S. FowlerChairman Finance Committee
