HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Marilyn Kooiman who will celebrate her 82nd birthday April 14.
THANK YOU to all those who participated in our Lent and Easter services for readings, instruments, singing, and other ways. Your contributions were meaningful and appreciated!
RENOVATION GIVING UPDATE: The Admin Team is very grateful for your faithful giving and pledging toward the Fireside Room renovation. We have received about $36,000 in offerings and almost $28,000 in pledges, which leaves us only about $11,000 from our target of $75,000. Praise God!
UNITED IN CHRIST’S NEW KINGDOM:
One Savior. One gospel. One plan. One people. One church. In the book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul unfolds a majestic vision of God’s sovereignty and salvation. He shows us the eternal plan of God, the glory of what Christ has accomplished, and the stunning reality of the church He is building. Over the coming weeks, we will see what it truly means to be united to Christ—and what that unity demands of our life together as His people today.
NEXT SUNDAY we are excited to welcome Brenda Soumaila Souleymane, a representative from World Renew West Africa. She will lead a special adult Sunday School in the sanctuary from 9-9:40 am, share a brief update during the service and be available to connect with you afterward.
NEXT WEEK’S OFFERING is for the Faith Promise Missions Fund which supports the following ministries in 2026: Bridges of Hope, Engedi Refuge, Envision, Christian Hope Association, Starfish Ministries, NW Hispanic Ministries, The Table, Bethel Quilting, Backpack Buddies, Bethany Ball, Mel and Jane Dotinga, Community Outreach, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Greg and Corrie Burgers and Youth Dynamics.
THE CHURCH will be closed on Friday afternoon, April 17 to spray for pest control.
