Verse of the Week: John 11:25-26
I know that my Redeemer lives; What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead; He lives, my ever-living head. He lives triumphant from the grave; He lives eternally to save; He lives all-glorious in the sky; He lives exalted there on high. He lives, my kind, wise, heav’nly friend; He lives and loves me to the end; He lives, and while He lives, I’ll sing; He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King. He lives and grants me daily breath; He lives, and I shall conquer death; He lives my mansion to prepare; He lives to bring me safely there. He lives, all glory to His name! He lives, my Jesus, still the same; Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives: I know that my Redeemer lives!

Easter Cantata Saturday, April 8, at 5:00 pm. The CLC choir will be presenting "Behold the Lamb!" – a musical and narrative journey that underscores the significant price that Jesus paid for our salvation. It recalls Israel's release from Egyptian bondage with the Passover Lamb, a foretelling of God's divine plan to provide the Holy Lamb as the ultimate sacrifice for our spiritual freedom. The despair of Christ's crucifixion eventually gives way to joy in a triumphant celebration of His resurrection!
The Worship Board is hosting an Ice Cream Social after The Easter Cantata on Saturday, April 8. Be sure to stay and enjoy the treats and the fellowship! Don’t miss the
Palm Sunday Breakfast after church on April 9! Menu will be scrambled eggs, cheesy hash brown bake, mini muffins, fruit coffee, milk and juice. Suggested donation for the meal is $5.00 per person. Breakfast is hosted by the elders and a fundraiser for the youth summer mission trip.

Mission Trip to Macedonia! Hannah Hartog is taking another trip with Habitat for Humanity – this time to Macedonia with 24 other team members to build apartment complexes in Veles. She will be there June 9-17. Hannah is covering most of the expenses herself (including her airfare and other trip costs), but she still needs $425 by April 17. Any amount donated would be very much appreciated. You can either write a check to Hannah Hartog or donate the money at her fundraising page: https://share.habitat.org/hannah-hartog-gvt17703. Also, keep Hannah in your prayers as she prepares for her trip. We look forward to her sharing about it after she returns! The Human Care Board is discontinuing collection of old shoes. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this worthy project.
Have you noticed the beautiful PRAYER SHAWLS in the Narthex? This ministry is vital to our congregation, and our Pastors receive many thank you’s from those who receive them. The Human Care Board would like to know who has crocheted or knitted in the past, who is still making shawls, or who would like to crochet or knit these Prayer Shawls. Please contact Eileen Gregory, Joyce Swedean, Dale Vogt, or Rhoda (in the office) and let us now. Thanks to everyone who crochets and knits!
