Easter Week Events

Greetings New Life Family;

We want to remind you of the Easter Week events that will be taking place on Thursday and Friday. Please note there will be no Family Night this Wednesday due to the Thursday and Friday events.

We need you to let us know if you plan to attend the dinner on Thursday evening. Please email or call Patty at the church office to let us know how many to expect from your family. Please arrive by 6:30 PM for the dinner.

Following the meal we will have a time for feetwashing with the men and women being separated into groups. Washing feet follows the example Jesus set for His disciples in the13th chapter of John’s Gospel. It reminds us that we are called to humbly serve one another. Come to participate or observe the feetwashing service.

On Friday we will have a Good Friday Service remembering the death of Jesus. Plan to come and reflect on the purpose of Jesus’ sacrificial death for all people.

We REALLY need an adult to help watch infants and toddlers each night. We will supply some youth to assist you. Contact the church as soon as possible.

Thanks. We’re looking forward to a great Easter Week with all of you.
John Klotz
Lead Pastor
