If you have a prayer request and/or concern, please use the prayer card in the pews,

place them in the offering plate and someone will call you.

WE ARE SO GLAD YOU HAVE COME TO WORSHIP on this great day of celebration! Happy Resurrection DAY! Blessed are those to whom this special day is not a hint—-but a find; not a greeting—-but a proclamation: JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN!! Not an outward fashion….but an in-ward grace. Not a day...but an eternity through the SHED BLOOD OF OUR SAVIOR! And the unspeakable joy of living with our Resurrected Christ forever and ever! This morning we welcome Pastor Arlan Koppendrayer as he leads us in worship. Guatemala Prayer: Please pray for these Pastors and Seminary Students as they proclaim God’s Word today and the Good News of Jesus’ Resurrection: Moises, Victor, Pedro, Diego, Ephraim, Gustavo, and Feliciano. Next Sunday the choir from Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge will be our guests and lead our worship service with music and their testimonies. There will be a potluck luncheon for them and the congregation in the Fellowship Hall following worship. Pease continue to pray for both the Senior Pastor and Youth Leader Search Teams. The Youth Leader Search Team has conducted initial phone interviews and we have three candi-dates coming for weekend interviews over the next six weeks. We will share more detailed information as it becomes available. Your offering for April 3013 will be received as follows: April 7-MN Adult & Teen Challenge; April 14-Community Christian School; April 21-PCRC Scholarship Fund; April 28-Building Fund.
