Easter Message: He is Risen – Alleluia!
Easter brings, first, confusion and fear. Jesus’ own followers wrestled with their doubts. Even people who knew Jesus had a hard time seeing God’s amazing truth. New life for all – worked out through the very darkness and death that plague us.
“He is risen!”
“He is risen indeed, alleluia!”
— Traditional Easter greeting
In contrast to that darkness and doubt, today’s celebration feels all the more joyful. God transforms our anxiety, isolation and fear into embracing love for ourselves and our fellow human beings. Resurrection comes to us, here, today! And God’s Holy Spirit walks with us in all we do and face.
Today’s beautiful flowers, stirring music and inspiring Scripture fill your spiritual tank for the whole week!
God of amazing love, open my heart to your love, grace and mercy. Let me feel your arms embracing me! Guide me into the destiny you have for me. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Most Sundays, meet us at 9:45 a.m. in the Game Room (near the Fellowship Center). After a little fussbol, at 10 a.m. we move to our Youth & Family Lounge for a Sunday School lesson.
On the first Sunday of each month, we meet right after the 10 a.m. worship – at about 11:15 a.m. – in the Youth & Family Lounge.
Youth @ PEACE is our all-ages Bible study, where young disciples learn the core stories of our faith and what it means to walk the Jesus Path. We welcome all who yearn to learn about our loving, gracious Creator.
Toddlers & babies
Kids in church: PLEASE bring your young children to church! Their fussing and squealing may pain you, but they make us glad! Pick up an activity bag as you go into the Sanctuary (on the left in a basket, ask an usher). During the sermon, you can take your kids to our Nursery; a speaker is turned on so you can hear the sermon and follow the service.

Your spiritual growth
We would love to grow spiritually with you!
Like natural seasons, our church seasons have a special meaning for our spiritual lives.
Today, we start the season of Easter. During this spiritual time, we read stories about Jesus’ appearances after his resurrection. And, we think about the many ways God renews our lives here and now.
Thank you, God for sending your Anointed One – Jesus! – who brings new life to this broken world!
