Never Lose The Wonder

GOOD FRIDAY@7:00

Every year we have a Good Friday Worship Service. It is always reflective and worshipful. The focus, of course, is the cross, the sacrifice, our God who so loved the world that He gave His One and Only. We sing, we pray, we hear scripture and we observe the Lord’s Supper. You are invited to join us this Friday night as we turn our eyes upon Jesus.

EASTER SUNDAY DAY OF CELEBRATION SUNDAY @ 11:00

What a day of celebration…He is risen…He is risen indeed! Join us this Sunday as we relive and recount why we “Never Lose The Wonder” of what God has done for us. We will sing and celebrate! If the weather continues to cooperate, please bring flowers from your yard (or your neighbor’s) for our annual flowering of the cross. We will have a special cross in the Worship Center where you can place your flowers and see the old rugged cross transformed to a symbol of beauty and new life.

We are also celebrating the resurrection of Christ with baptisms this Sunday. We have adults, teens and children scheduled to be baptized. Their baptism is a picture of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus. It is the beginning of their public profession as followers of Jesus. It is their entry into the membership of the part of God’s family known as James Island Baptist Church. Hallelujah, what a Savior.

PRAY AND INVITE

We had a wonderfully successful Easter Egg Drop for the Community. Now we pray for the process of outreach and spiritual growth. Pray that those influenced by the love and excitement of last Saturday will be wonderfully, mysteriously drawn to God. Pray for those you can invite to join you for one of the best attended services of the year. Be ready to give your seat to a guest…we can stand! Amen and amen!

CALL TO ME

This Sunday at the end of the Easter Worship service, we will distribute copies of the CALL TO ME devotional guide. This is a 50 day prayer devotional written by some of our church leaders for our church family. Our hope is that Connection Groups will find a way to use this together, to pray together and to grow together. It is not to replace anything you are currently studying…it is an opportunity to live out Jeremiah 33:3…call to me! We have 500 printed and ready to go. There will be greeters at the doors to give them out. If for some reason you do not get one, let us know. We will make sure you do! From Easter Sunday to Pentecost…50 days of praying together! Hallelujah, what a Savior!

See you Sunday, good Lord willing,

Pastor Tom
