EASTER... Share this Invitation

 

Rarely have I been more thankful for the opportunity to share the message of Jesus than this Easter weekend! In addition to the powerful celebration of the resurrection, I have personally been blessed with an answer to prayer. The timing of that answered prayer is nothing short of miraculous. I cannot wait to share that story as part of a clear presentation of God's good news. 

 

We have added a 4th worship service on Saturday at 5 pm (Easter Eve). This will be family worship and our children's choir will share during the service. Our Sunday worship times are at 8 am (classic service), 9:30 & 11 am (contemporary service). The message will be powerful for those who have yet to make a personal expression of faith, so invite those you love. Each service provides an unforgettable opportunity to be baptized as faith in Christ is expressed. Would you pray others would respond to the tens of thousands of invitations we have put in the mail to all living in Florissant and Ferguson. In addition, will you pray this simple prayer for my final preparations for this message, "Lord, strengthen his hands" (Nehemiah 6:9). 

 

Every first-time guest will receive a couple of very special gifts to honor their efforts to join us.

Good Friday Experience

Friday, April 3, 12 pm in Worship Center 

We will have a service that acknowledges the suffering of Jesus on the Cross. The music and devotion will center on "The Empty Cross." Come and be a part of a simple, but powerful interactive experience that will help you personally celebrate what Jesus accomplished in those hours of suffering. The service will be less than an hour and will be well worth your lunch break. We encourage you to bring a friend from work.
