Getting Ready for Holy Week

Last night we had a great evening of fellowship with the men preparing a meal of BBQ. Food was out of this world and Fred Walter's bunch of men worked like an army. Everyone had a great time and we had many visitors joing us. Although the purpose is not to make money, the men did receive over $350 for their work in the church and community. They set the date of April 25th to have a work day at the church and tend to a lot of the physical needs of the building and property. Things will begin at 8 a.m. and persons are welcome to work as much time as they have available.

Sunday is Palm Sunday. What a way to prepare yourselves to enter Holy Week! We will remember the children waving the palm branches. We said at the beginning of the week that Pastor Arlin will preach on the subject: "Jesus, the New Covenant, Enters Jerusalem." We will celebrate Holy Communion and look at how God's covenant, Jesus, moved into the last week of his life on earth.

Thanks to everyone who made last night successful and who invited persons to join us. Thanks to those of you who have been inviting persons to join us for Palm Sunday and Easter. These are exciting days at Paradise.
