Holy Week

Dear Members and Friends,

Praise God!!! What an amazing worship we had Sunday for Palm/Passion Sunday! I’m so grateful for all the love and care that went into planning worship experience and for the contribution of so many to make it happen! I’m excited for all that Holy Week will bring and I hope you’ll join us for all of it.

As we are in Holy Week, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to consider who you would like to invite to attend our worship experiences with you and give them a Holy Week/Easter invitation!

In Addition to Christmas, this is one of the most effective and impactful times to invite someone to attend church. By this time, many people have already “failed” in one or more of their many New Year’s resolutions and are looking for something that will help them to make lasting changes in their lives.

The Bible says, “Not forsaking assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25

Please create time to worship during Holy Week.

Thank You!

Dear Church Family,

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous gift toward my summer mission trips. Your continued support both spiritually and financially over the years has been such a steady source of encouragement in my life and calling. You’ve not only invested in my journey, but you’ve also helped shape it. Through your love, prayer, and teaching, you’ve shown me what it means to truly be the hands and feet of Jesus. Because of your example, I carry with me a heart for service, a deep love for the gospel, and a desire to share Christ’s love wherever He leads me.

As I prepare to go out this summer, I do so knowing I’m not alone. I go covered in your prayers and carrying the love of the father all of you have poured into me. I am reminded of this verse: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” – Romans 10:15

Thank you for being my sending family, for believing in me, and walking with me in this journey.

With love & gratitude,

Anna Calloway
