 Building Healthy Families: Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! Alleluia! The joy of Jesus’ resurrection day isn’t limited to one day or church service! The season of Easter is 50 days long, though one could argue that this most wonderful celebration continues to be marked throughout the year. In the next several weeks of Eastertide, consider celebrating resurrection and new life by picking up fresh flowers or a small potted plant to share with a neighbor or homebound church member, enjoy time outside as God’s creation buds and blossoms, and keep up the traditional greeting of “He is risen! He is risen, indeed! Alleluia!” Lutheran Family Service www.LutheranFamilyService.org

Roger & Mary Postma, in memory of Evelyn & Clarence Postma.
Thank You: Thank you to everyone that help make food for the Easter Breakfast. Thank you to those that helped serve and clean up. We served around 45 people that morning and received $227 in donation. That money will be put towards any updating of church like painting a room or stain for outside trim, etc. Thank you again. -The Sickelka Family

Building Healthy Families: Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! Alleluia! The joy of Jesus’ resurrection day isn’t limited to one day or church service! The season of Easter is 50 days long, though one could argue that this most wonderful celebration continues to be marked throughout the year. In the next several weeks of Eastertide, consider celebrating resurrection and new life by picking up fresh flowers or a small potted plant to share with a neighbor or homebound church member, enjoy time outside as God’s creation buds and blossoms, and keep up the traditional greeting of “He is risen! He is risen, indeed! Alleluia!” Lutheran Family Service www.LutheranFamilyService.org
