We continue our series through the Gospel of Mark with the focus that as we discover more about Jesus, we discover more about the life that He calls us to live.
This morning Jesus invites us to see in
Mark 10:46-52, how central the cross is to who He is, and the life that He calls us to live in Him.

Please place your payment in one of the offering plates at the front of the sanctuary with “Easter Flowers” written on it. Your special person’s name will be shared in the bulletin on Easter Sunday.
All Purpose Cleaner Drive: On Sunday, April 24, we would like to collect donations of All Purpose Cleaners only for the Personal Needs Closet. The reason being is that these items are limited as to how much one person can buy in the stores at this time, so if we can get everybody to come together and bring at least one, then we can quickly replenish our supply for the community. Thank you in advance for your help.
Announcements: If you have an announcement that you would like in the Sunday bulletin, please let Stacia know by the Tuesday before. If you have an announcement that you would like to make during the service, please let Pastor Matt know by the Thursday before. If you have a social media announcement, please contact Joey South.
