EASTER SUNDAY -
APRIL 20 @ 10:00am
"Love Beyond Death" - Pastor Eric Markman
preaching
Join us this
Sunday for all the joy of Easter! We will celebrate with amazing
music from Concordia Brass & Timpani and of course the amazing
Concord Choir directed by Matthew Pressley. We will celebrate with
an Easter egg hunt. We will celebrate with beautiful flowers
and amazing Easter decorations. But above all, we will celebrate as
we once again join together to shout, “He is Risen! He is Risen
indeed!!” With all the amazing and beautiful accouterments that are
so much a part of Easter, there is nothing that truly compares to
the wonder and joy that comes with this event of salvation and the
assurance that nothing can destroy the love of God for the world
and all the life within it. Come and enjoy the amazing
celebration, experience the incredible music, feast your eyes on
the beautiful decorations. But most of all shout “He is
Risen!” For this is a hope and a joy that cannot not be killed!!
Join us for IN-PERSON WORSHIP on
Sunday at 10:00am; doors open at 9:40am.
