HAPPY EASTER!

The churches that you are a part of are busy this week, with many special Easter events.  We want you to know that we are praying for you, and those who will join you for those activities.  We are trusting God to make the familiar Easter story touch hearts in a special way, bringing excitement and freshness.

This week we will be distributing decorated eggs and telling the Easter story.  Please pray for that we will use age-appropriate language and details as we tell the story to a variety of age groups.  The egg-wrappers include a Bible verse in Chinese.  The photo above is from two years ago.  This year we are anticipating preparing about 300 eggs.  That means there is some work to do to make that happen.

Thank-you for praying about the items mentioned last week.

• God helped Kathy-Lu teach.  She mentioned some aspects of the lesson that the children seemed to enjoy.
• Lorne was encouraged by the time spent with pastors at the strategy meetings last week.  Although leaders can do many good things, the seminar leader reminded us that a healthy church has evidence of the Holy Spirit at work.
• The discussion with the pastor of Deep Grace Alliance Church was very positive.  Lorne and Kathy-Lu are planning to join them for the morning service April 21.  The partnership in the church planting work will be shared with the congregation that day.
