LADIES GETAWAY
Ladies, if you have signed up to enjoy a weekend away at Cedar Springs Christian Retreat Center, we are asking for the final payment to be turned into the church office by April 26th. If you have any questions, contact Jeanette at Women's Ministry.
2026 VBS
Save the date for VBS - July 20th-23rd from 5:30-8:00 PM. The theme this year is Illumination - Shining a Light on Who Jesus Really Is. Some might see Jesus as just a person from history or a good man or a good teacher, but He is more than that! At VBS, we will shine a light on the truth of who Jesus really is. Kids will explore all the ways light brightens, illuminates, reflects and reveals while discovering that Jesus is the light who brings hope to a dark world. As it says in John 8:12, Jesus spoke to them again: "I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life." Click here to register your kids and in May there will be a table in the foyer for volunteer signups. Contact Pastor Adam if you have any questions.
SERVING OUR SENIORS
Would you like to bless our Senior Saints? You can, by making a main dish for one of our Senior Bible Fellowship (SBF) meetings. This is a bi-monthly gathering on the second and fourth Tuesday at 11:30 AM where our seniors come together for fellowship, faith, and a delicious meal. You may drop off the dish on Sunday or Monday before the meeting and we'll take care of the rest and cover the cost. It’s a simple but impactful way to show love and appreciation to our seniors. You can sign up by clicking the link provided – ‘Take Them a Meal’ and they will send a link for “take them a meal” every quarter for you to sign up to volunteer. If you have any questions, contact Dean or Kirie.
SONG OF THE MONTH - APRIL
As we remember Jesus' death and resurrection, we cannot help but realize that Christ stands in a category all His own: fully God, fully man, and utterly without equal. Because He lived without sin, He alone could bear the weight of ours, fulfilling what Scripture proclaims in 1 Peter 3:18: “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.” In response, this song lifts Jesus as the only One worthy of our worship, our trust, and our surrender.

LADIES - WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY
Ladies, we are offering a Bible study called Jesus and Prayer by Shelly Smith. Prayer is a natural part of our relationship with God, but it doesn't come naturally in always knowing what to pray or how to pray. Jesus taught His followers to pray through His example and through parables and instructions. We will learn more about prayer from Jesus in the Bible and practice praying. We meet from 9:30-11:00 AM on Thursdays in the Media room at ERCC and the cost is $5. If interested, contact Diane Christensen.

GLEAN AT ERCC (food and other items)
Inspired by: Acts 4:32 "All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had."
ERCC hosts a gleaning on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays around 11:00 – 12:00 PM in the back parking lot. Items are extras from stores such as Costco and QFC. It's mostly food, but sometimes other household items. When you arrive, there will be a person handing out buttons with numbers. You will line up according to your number. The elderly will have their own line and will go first. You will go through in groups of 10 and you must stay in line, no passing. Items allowed to pick depend on the amount of food that is brought. All participants are asked to enter through the back gate, park and go directly to the “number person” and get in line. (No scanning of the items laid out) Please come to the church after you receive the email notification from ERCC.
People attending ERCC are welcome to participate in the ‘glean’ distribution. If you would like to attend please email the church office and you will be added to the ‘gleaning’ email list. An e-mail will be sent about 15-20 minutes before the distribution begins. You must wait until the email is sent before coming to the church. These are the instructions for the current participants and ERCC participants will be expected to do the same.
