What great services we had this past Sunday as we focused our attention on praising the Lord. The focus on praising the Lord, the music and participation of church members made this a memorable time of worship. I am thankful for each of our participants. And, "thanks" for the great comments you gave me this week.

Here are a few:

"I thought I wouldn't like it, but I loved it."

"The devotional was a great help all week."

"Great to see so many people participating"

"Let's do this again."

"The whole service was such a blessing"

"Want you to know that the service today was awesome."

"Thank you for providing the teaching on Praise and Worship"

CONNECTING WITH DURHAM'S HOMELESS AND DISADVANTAGED

Are you looking for a meaningful way to Connect with those in need this Easter? Then join us in helping the Durham Rescue Mission prepare 1500 Easter Baskets that will be handed out to children of need at their annual Easter Celebration.

This is a tremendous opportunity to partner with an organization that has a history of helping the poor in the Durham area both physically and spiritually. Between their Thanksgiving and Christmas outreaches they had over 120 salvations, served over 2500 meals and presented to gospel to over 3800 individuals!

The 3:20 Connect Group is collecting items that we will use to assemble Easter baskets for children 12 and under. We are looking for individuals or Connect Groups to collect individually wrapped candies, chocolate bunnies, children tooth brushes and toothpaste, and small baskets over the next four weeks. Donated items can be place in Room 501. We will then assemble these items into baskets and deliver them to the Durham Rescue Mission.
