MOVIE NIGHT:
The Passion of the Christ
We have a special showing of the Passion of the Christ April 17, at 7:15pm in the lower level Fellowship Hall immediately following our Maundy Thursday worship gathering. This will be a good way to understand and experience what Jesus went through during the week leading up to Easter.
Easter – April 20 – 10:30am
CELEBRATE WITH US! Easter worship is on April 20 at 10:30am. What a great day to gather with other believers and worship Jesus who has risen from the dead and given us eternal life.
Outreach Emphasis Sunday
Sunday, April 27, the week after Easter is our Outreach Emphasis Sunday. We do this because once we understand what Jesus did for us and for the world at Easter, we want to share that Good News with as many people as possible all around the world. So we highlight our efforts in our local, national and international missions during this worship gathering.
We have special news. We are planning to have Pastor Nelson Osorto give our sermon by video. Pastor Nelson is the pastor of TEE Church, which is our sister church in Honduras. We hope to be able to invite him to come in person soon, but this year we get to meet him by video.
Then stay after worship for a time of enjoying food from around the world in our Fellowship Hall. This is a way to get to know others better while we learn about our missionaries nearby and around the globe.
PIZZA WITH THE PASTOR
Sunday, May 4
If you are new around Southern Heights, Pastor Todd wants to meet with you and share lunch – on us. Join him for some pizza immediately after worship on May 4. You can ask questions if you want, or just chat and have a nice lunch. Contact the office (shcrc1@gmail.com) if you are interested so we can order the right amount of pizza. (Also let us know if you have any food restrictions.)
