An Easter prayer:

     "O God, our light, our beauty, our rest:  
          In the resurrection of your Son you have brought us into your new creation, form us into your people, and order our lives in you; through Christ our Lord. Amen.    Alleluia!"

+++ Our annual Spring Craft show is this weekend! Friday, April 17 from 4pm-8pm and Saturday, April 18 from 9am-3pm. Bring a friend or two and enjoy a full house of crafters as well as a homemade lunch at our Bistro and goodies at a bake sale.

+++ This Sunday, April 19, we will welcome back Rev. Candace Lawrence who will lead our worship services at both 8:30 and 10am. We will have special music at 8:30am and our choir will be singing at 10am. If you are not able to join us in person, we hope you will join online as we will be live on Facebook at 10am and after that, the service recording will be uploaded to our YouTube channel. However you join in, we are glad you are with us!

+++ This Sunday is also Native American Ministries Sunday. This is one of 6 churchwide special offerings we participate in each year. Your generosity supports Native American outreach within annual conferences, provides seminary scholarships for Native Americans, and strengthens, develops, and equips Native American congregations, ministries, and communities. There will be special offering envelopes in the Narthex for your use. Please mark "Native American Sunday" in the memo of checks.

+++ The May/June edition of our newsletter deadline is April 20. Please have any information you would like included to the church office by that date.

+++ The May/June edition of the Upper Room is available now on the table outside the window of the church office.

+++ Pam will be hosting coffee with the Pastor this Wednesday, April 22 at 9:30. If the airlines cooperate, Pastor Jack will also be with us. Come enjoy a hot cup of coffee and some wonderful fellowship.

+++ Don't forget that Immanuel has camperships available for kids attending church camp this summer. Please give your child's name, camp, and dates going to the church office no later than May 30. In the past, we have been able to give 50% of tuition. If you have a greater need, please see Pastor Jack. We want everyone to be able to attend church camp!
