A special thank you to all the children and youth of Bethlehem yesterday who lead us in worship and to all the parents for helping coordinate and just having all around wonderful kids. We are truly blessed by our youngest generation.
Did anyone take any pictures during worship yesterday? If so can you either email them to me or post them on the church's facebook page?

10am Easter Worship
Looking for some helping hands on Saturday at 3pm. We will be decorating the sanctuary, setting up for Easter Breakfast and if the weather is nice, doing some minor yard work to make the place look beautiful for the next day!
And on Easter Sunday come with your bells on (or at least in your hand). We will be ringing bells throughout worship whenever that wonderful A-word is said (you know the one we said goodbye to for Lent). Ring bells throughout the service whenever it is spoken or sung (except the choir anthem).
Easter Breakfast
Didn't get your ticket? Don't worry, there will be plenty of food and you can buy your ticket there. $10 adult, $5 kids or $20 for a household. We do need a few people to bring sweet bread/coffee cake/ etc. If you are willing to bring something, please let Frank C know
Book of Faith Puzzler
Last week's question was There is another person named Lazarus in the gospel (beside the one raised from the dead) who is it? In Luke 16:19-31 Jesus tells a story of a man named Lazarus who was a beggar who went to heaven when he died while the rich man whose house he begged in front of went to Hades. Congratulations Nancy B. for winning this week's puzzler.
This week's question is What festival was being celebrated the week of Jesus' death in Jerusalem? A) Rosh Hashanah B) Passover C) Yom Kippur D) Mardi Gras. Know the answer, or willing to google it? Send me an email by noon on Wednesday to be entered into this week's drawing. The winner this week will get a special Easter prize.
Yesterday's worship
Was there a certain part of the reading that really struck you? Did you enjoy hearing the reading in this format with us breaking to participate in the Last Supper, pray, or confess our faith, when we heard Jesus and his disciples doing such things?
