Praise to the generous hearts of our Family in Christ: Last week a request was sent out on the church updates, that a family without means of transportation was in need of a car. One of our families stepped up and provided a vehicle for this family. (This makes the sixth vehicle to be donated in the past 10 Years)

Thanks to all in this church family for the love of God in their hearts and their willingness to provide for others less fortunate.

-Sid Davis, Gary Johnson and the benevolence committee

QUOTE of the WEEK

“As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right

side, and they were alarmed. "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Naz-

arene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here.”

—-Mark 16:5-6

TODAY’S CLASSES

These things we know…:

Jesus was killed on a cross.

His death was confirmed.

His lifeless body was placed in a bor-rowed tomb.

A massive stone sealed the dead.

Despair filled lost hearts.

Duty demanded someone care for the body of their fallen friend.

An angel delivered unimaginable and amazing news.

Many eyes witnessed the empty space where once the body laid.

Many of those same eyes saw the risen Jesus.

The good news filled the land: “He is not dead, he is risen from the grave.”

The call still rings out: “Come follow this Risen Savior.”

We are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross, but God raised him from the dead on the third day and caused him to be seen” (Acts 10:39-40).

Julian’s son, Mike Osir, is minister for the church in Oduwo.
