The Bible Mini-Series, Men's Resolution Ceremony, Easter Weekend (Pastoral Emphasis for 3/10)

Today's reading from the Chronological Reading Plan: Numbers 35-36

Did you see the first episode of The Bible mini-series?  I really liked that Jackie Chan angel!  Deaconess LaDonna Bethea said her sons were fact-checking it. I like that. We should always do that! There are some historical and theological inaccuracies with this series.  The best depiction of the Bible is the Bible itself.  Always compare what books, movies, and people (including myself) are saying about the Word of God with the Word of God!

At 4pm, we had our first Adult Ministry's Men's Life Study Group Resolution Ceremony. Jason Smith, Matt Darby, George Nelson, Eddie Stimpson, and Barry Singleton (absent due to surgery) publicly made a commitment to be leaders in their home, church, and community.  Bro. Jason Smith delivered a powerfully encouraging Word exhorting them to be men of prayer.

We will have a Good Friday service, egg hunt on that Saturday, and sunrise service for Easter with breakfast afterwards. In order for us to plan according, we'll need you to sign up for Easter Breakfast. Those who sign-up will receive tickets. Those who have tickets get food before those who do not. Sign up online, registration table, or use connection card.

The Youth Ministry held a mission trip interest meeting after the service. Parents, if you missed the meeting and you are interested in finding out more about this, please check with the youth directors, Corey and Ersula Jerkins.
