ERCC News - Week of 4/26/2024
NEW WORSHIP SONG
In Matthew 27:54 we read that the Roman soldiers who witnessed Jesus' death exclaimed "Truly this man was the Son of God!" If even they could recognize Jesus as God the Son, how much more can we as believers recognize and praise the holiness of God our Father.

LAST TO LEAVE
If you are the last person to leave the church after a service or an event, please turn off all the lights and give the doors a tug once they have closed to make sure the lock has clicked. If you leave through the front doors, the left door sometimes drops a peg at the bottom of the door which causes the door not to fully close. To prevent this from happening hold the bar in when closing the left door and exit out the right door.
In Matthew 27:54 we read that the Roman soldiers who witnessed Jesus' death exclaimed "Truly this man was the Son of God!" If even they could recognize Jesus as God the Son, how much more can we as believers recognize and praise the holiness of God our Father.
