RESPONDING TO THE RISEN LORD What God has done for us through our Crucified and Risen Lord is wonderful and eternal! During April, the focus is on our response to Jesus Christ, our Risen Lord. The sermons and Scriptures during April are: April 6 - “Are Your Eyes Opened?” - Luke 24:13-35 * April 13 - “He Came to Give Us Life!” - John 10:1-10 * April 20 - “Come as Living Stones?” - 1 Peter 2:2-10 * April 27 - “He Asked for a Helper!” - John 14:15-21 Over 1,000 church brochures were received by new residents in Lewisville and the surrounding communities about a week before Easter. We are also doing ads in local newspapers. This is a good time to invite family, neighbors, friends, and coworkers to share in our Worship and other activities. As we receive new guests, let them see our hospitality and a warm welcome! Responding to the Risen Lord includes growing in our love and support of one another and with all who come among us. Our fellowship activities such as those of our different Boards, the Women’s Fellowship, Men’s Fellowship, Youth in Action, Junior Youth, and Adult Fellowship, along with Monthly Fellowship Meals and the Men’s Fellowship’s Sponsored Monthly Brunches are very important parts of that growing in love and support of one another. The new Deacons’ Family Ministry Program is also going to be instrumental. The Music Board is sponsoring an opportunity to help others and enjoy music and fellowship through the 1 p.m. Lover’s Lane Jazz Band program after the Meal on April 27th. Let’s show a strong commitment to our Risen Lord through our Worship, Study, Fellowship, and Service during April! - Pastor Wells |
