This Week’s Verse to Memorize & Meditate Upon
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39

Disaster Preparedness
If you are in the Sanctuary when there is a …
Tornado Stay in the Sanctuary. Get down on the floor between the seats and keep your head down.
Fire Proceed to the nearest emergency exit (indicated in circles on the map below). There are four ways to exit the Sanctuary: the two main exits at the back then proceed out the front or side doors of the building; the two emergency exits located on each end of the stage.
In both situations it is important that you remain calm and proceed as instructed. To help prevent confusion, please do not go retrieve your children. The nursery and children’s workers are trained and will make sure they are safe.
Each room throughout the building has a map indicating a fire exit route and the tornado shelter location. Please take note of these.
Prepare Your Heart for Easter
As you exit the Sanctuary this morning the ushers will be distributing a 7-day holy week devotional designed to help deepen our understanding of the cross and delight in our Savior this Easter season.
Children in pre-K through 6th
grade are welcome to attend.
We will be working on the
upcoming musical “Back To the
Cross” which will be presented
following MusiCamp on Sunday
evening, June 12.
