Disaster Relief Ministry in Gladwin, MI
On Thursday of this past week we had an opportunity to send 10 people to Gladwin to help with Disaster Relief in the areas affected by the recent flooding. There is still a significant amount of work that still needs to be completed to help the people of Gladwin County (and beyond) to recover from the devastation of the floods. If you are able to help on Saturday, June 13 or Saturday, June 27 we will tentatively plan on sending crews up to work those days. Please see the signup genius link below to indicate your interest.
We won’t know what work can or will need to be done until a day or two prior. You will want to plan on it being pretty grungy, manual labor.

We do hope you know that we (both the Pastors and the rest of the congregation) are longing to gather back together again, and we are praying for you.

In addition to your spontaneous works for God’s glory, here are some additional opportunities where you could serve the Lord in the days ahead.

Christ is Risen!
May we rejoice this morning in the glorious reality of Jesus’ resurrection from the grave.
“It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification. Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” (Ro 4:24–5:5).

Participation in the Celebration of Easter Sunday
This Easter Sunday we will likely celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection in a way unlike any other time we have celebrated His Resurrection. While we may yearn to gather together physically we recognize that the Lord, in His providence, would have us to celebrate His resurrection differently this year. We would ask that you all participate with us through two unique opportunities to celebrate his resurrection. We would like to assemble two videos to share with our church family on Easter Sunday.
Video with Easter Memory
We would ask that each individual or family prepare a 30 second (or less) video sharing with us a memory about Easter or a significant thought you have had about the resurrection of Jesus from the grave. This can be recorded directly through the following website: https://flipgrid.com/29a2993c
Video with Reading of 1 Corinthians
We would also ask that each individual or family participate in reading a portion of 1 Corinthians 15. Allison will edited the audio and portions of the video together into a meaningful Scripture video that will express our joy over Jesus’ resurrection.
