Christ is Risen! He is risen Indeed! Welcome to Easter morning worship as we gather together to celebrate our Lord’s victory over the grave and the victory we share in as a result. If you are a guest among us this morning, welcome! It is our hope that you will experience the love of Jesus Christ, the joy of salvation, and the hospitality of the Holy Spirit as you worship with us this morning. It is likely that the sanctuary will be quite full this morning. Please assist the ushers by moving to the center of the bench in which they seat you so that others may join you later. Next week, Teen Challenge Teen Challenge Teen Challenge Teen Challenge will be leading us in worship through song and personal testimony. Please plan to attend this service that tells the story of the radical transformation that can occur through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. The men of the Teen Challenge choir will also be sharing more af-ter the service in the sanctuary as part of a learning time during the Sunday School hour. All are welcome to attend that, along with a potluck dinner in the Fellowship Hall afterwards. You are asked to please bring a extra dish to share at the potluck dinner next Sunday as we will have extra guests for lunch as well as reminded to stay longer and help clean up. Pastor Michael will be out of the office this week for a Board of Trustees meet-ing at Dordt College. If a pastoral need arises, please contact your Shepherding Group Elder or Deacon. There will be no Sunday School or catechism classes this morning. The second offering today will be received for Christian Reformed Home Missions.
