Journey Groups and Wednesday dinners start back up this week. Dinner will be, as always, from 5:15pm to 6:30pm. Thank you Alison - we love you! Journey Groups will be from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. Nursery starts back up and kids and middle school youth group will continue on as usual. To get a look at this session's offerings, go to http://bit.ly/3ZoawTz

Good Friday Service
Friday, April 7 | 7pm | A time of remembrance and reflection upon our Lord’s death. We will start the service as one body with a time of singing and communion. Our kids will then be dismissed to the Children's Center and the adults and youth will transition to a Tenebrae service, a service of shadows.

New Sermon Series
Again this year we are joining in with the Nazarene prayer initiative, Call to Prayer, from now until Pentecost. In addition to Pastor Ken preaching on it on Sundays, there is also a prayer journal and other information on the Nazarene Prayer site, https://www.usacanadaregion.org/pray

Usher Team
Those kind people who hold the door open when you have to quietly exit the sanctuary during prayer and find a seat for you when you are a teensy bit late are looking to add some more people to their team. Ideally, they are looking to have enough ushers to run a rotation of one month on and two months off. Contact the office if this sounds like a job for you. (As we draw closer to two services, these pleas for help will be more forthcoming. In this job there is no changing diapers or dealing with surly teens. Volunteer for this one.)

Middle School RIOT
Friday, April 21 | 7-10pm | It's almost time for another RIOT! This month’s theme is “Night at the Movies.” Come dressed as your favorite movie character. Cost as always: boys bring a drink; girls bring a snack!

Friday, April 21 | 9:30-11am | Adults of preschoolers, invite your friends and come chat while your kids run around the gym and make friends of their own.

Now we’re royalty

Living Hope
Expand
Verse 1
How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness Your loving-kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished the end is written
Jesus Christ my living hope

Verse 2
Who could imagine so great a mercy
What heart could fathom such boundless grace
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior I’m Yours forever
Jesus Christ my living hope

Chorus
Hallelujah praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There’s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ my living hope

Verse 3
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
(REPEAT)
Jesus Yours is the victory whoa

Ending
Jesus Christ my living hope
Oh God You are my living hope

Two Trees: Paradise Restored
Luke 23:32-33, 39-43
April 9, 2023

Luke 23:32-33
Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. …

Luke 23:39-43
One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

The steps to eternal life...
1. Admit that you deserve death.
“We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve.”
Luke 23:41

“Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
