Good morning and greetings from Abiding Peace,

Does Easter really make any difference in our lives?  

During the Sundays of Easter (the next five weeks) we will be answering that question and God's Word will clearly show us - IT DOES!

Come each week to hear and see how.

Prayer Notes:

- Saturday is the memorial service for Steve Streblow's father and also Kurt Meyer.  We pray for these families as they give thanks to the Lord for his gift of earthly life and especially the blessing of eternal life through our Savior Jesus.

- Let's also include a prayer that stability and some form of peaceful relations may develop in the Middle East.  We ask the Lord to spare the loss of human life and that he would use this unrest and fighting to draw people to him for true peace and stability.

Other Notes:

- Sunday School and Confirmation Class resume on Sunday.

- Adult study will not meet Sunday because we are having a Congregational Meeting to which all are invited.  Come and hear the latest update on church renovation plans.

- If you donated Easter flowers...thank you!  And, you may take yours home on Sunday.

- Sign up Sunday for "Goofy Golf" (May 2nd) and playing softball (May 17th) and for a camping outing (June 5-7).

- The first hike of the "Hike and Service Group" is scheduled for April 18.

- Sign up Sunday to help with APA Field Day (April 24th).

- A K3 aide position is available for next year.  Position descriptions are in the office.  Talk to Karen for details and questions.
