Easter is just a week away, where we celebrate and remember the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. If you are looking for a place to worship on Easter Sunday, feel free to try Forcey Bible Church. You can find information on their special Easter offerings at https://www.forcey.org/easter/
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you. Matthew 28: 5-7
Have a great Palm Sunday weekend and enjoy the Easter Break!
