Recap and Resource

RECAP:

Yesterday was one of those special days! From the blessings of seeing God to the worshipful music to the sweet testimony of Judy Guzy to the prayerful close to the service, the Spirit of God was working mightily in hearts! 

The focal point of yesterday's message was the glory of God. We saw how Jesus wept over a city filled with religious Jews who all missed that Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem was the glory of God returning from the Mount of Olives! But Jesus had not come to return the glory of God to the temple of Jerusalem. Instead, the Son of David had come to lay the foundation for a new temple where the glory of God would dwell—and that new temple was the church! The message can be found on our website, YouTube channel, Spotify podcast, or iTunes podcast. 

In case you missed it, yesterday’s bulletin can be found here.

REMIND:

GOOD FRIDAY: Please join us as we purposely pause and reflect on the crucifixion of Jesus this Friday, April 15, at 6:30 p.m. Through Scripture, song, and the Communion, we will turn our eyes to the atoning sacrifice of Jesus at Calvary.

EASTER SUNDAY: On Easter Sunday, we will celebrate the glorious resurrection of our Lord and Savior from the tomb of death by hosting two morning worship services—at 9 & 11 a.m. There will be no Life Groups or Sunday school. Come celebrate with us—and invite your loved ones and friends as well!

MCCA CAR SHOW: Do you like cool cars or being part of an event team? The MCCA Car Show Committee is looking for some new members to help them plan, prepare, and execute the largest fundraiser of the year for our Christian school. If you'd be interested, please contact Ron Keyser at 540.244.9907 or ronkeyser@earthlink.net.
