Don your Sherlock Holmes cap and get out your magnifying glass to solve the case of “The Reading Of Aunt Louise’s Will.”  Several relatives have been invited to dinner for the reading of the will.  Many in this eccentric family hope to gain, but have much to lose if Aunt Louise hasn’t been generous to them.  Please, mark your calendars for this fun evening which will be hosted by our youth group to help fundraise for their summer Mexico Service Project.  Tickets will go on sale soon!  Don’t miss it.

Our youth will present a delicious and appetizing breakfast for our Sunrise Service crowd and any early risers on Easter morning.  The youth will be serving right after the service is over until 8:30 am that morning.  All proceeds will help support the youth in their summer Mexico Mission Project in which they will build a house for a needy family.

Easter Worship at 9:00 and 10:45am:  Join us to celebrate the glorious center of our faith, the wonder and majesty of our risen Lord, Jesus the Christ.

Dress warmly as we worship outside to celebrate the rising of the Son.  (Youth pancake breakfast will follow for those who would like to support them, see article later).

Our Chancel Choir will present the music and liturgy of the last words of Jesus before his death on Good Friday.  Please, join us for this moving service.

Journey with Jesus and the disciples to the upper room to celebrate what  would become “the Last Supper.”  Sing and worship as we join together in communion and begin to understand the sacrifice that is about to take place.

Both morning services 9:00 and 10:45 am will have Palm Processional to remind us of Jesus’ triumphal journey into Jerusalem.

This will be a special Sunday in which our children’s choir, Kid’s Praise, will help present the morning’s message along with Rev. Matt Colby at both services.  An excerpt from the musical “It’s Cool In The Furnace” about Daniel and his friends will introduce us to discipleship through staying strong in our faith even in adversity.  Don’t miss this uplifting service.

In February, we celebrated Scout Sunday to support the Scouts that meet at Vista.  On Monday nights, you can see our cub scouts running around for their den and pack meetings.  On Tuesday nights our Boy Scouts meet here.  Rev. Matt Colby, who happens to be the den leader for the Wolf Den, says Scouting continues to be important for family life and helping boys develop into men of character and faith.  Rev. Matt also reports that more families are beginning to join us for other events at our church, and that the comfort level is now there.  Our Scouts are quite active with regular meetings as well as campouts and other special events including the Pinewood Derby which took place in our sanctuary the day before Scout Sunday.  On Monday, February 25^th, the cub scouts celebrated their Blue and Gold Banquet with a catered BBQ dinner at Vista.  The Blue and Gold Banquet is the celebration of the birthday of cub scouting.  Between the cubs scouts and boy scouts there are between forty and fifty boys that meet at Vista.  Both groups thank our church and the United Methodist Men for providing the location but more than that for all the support.
