Hi everyone!
Welcome to this week's CRC newsletter! Here you will find time-sensitive announcements, events, service schedules, offering schedules, our prayer list and even a link to our bulletin "NEWS". I will send these out each week, typically on Thursdays. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
Have a great weekend and see you on Sunday!
In Christ,
Nancy - Church Office Administrator
“Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus
who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen”
Matthew 28:5-6
Today we celebrate Christ’s victory over death and sin; a victory that is for all of His people!
Sunday morning text: Revelation 5
Next week begins our new sermon series: Sing! a New Song. The series will last for seven weeks and we are very excited to share with you some of the takeaways from the Getty 2018 Conference last fall. We will culminate this series with an exclusive one day experience with Tom Kraeuter, who has been consulting with our church for more than ten years. Please join us for this conference the morning of June 22.
We extend our congratulations to Andy and Cheryl Zonneveld to whom God entrusted a son, Adrian Michael, born on Friday, April 12. Adrian weighs 7 lbs. and is 19 inches.
