In our March fellowship youth cupcake baking contest, Anna Gedeon took first with her filled-with-sprinkles-on-top cupcakes.  Peter Gedeon took second with his frosted brownie cupcakes, and Billy Reynolds took 3rd with his chocolate-with-a-cherrry-on-top cupcakes.

Happy Easter!  After a fun Easter Egg Hunt, Christy sat the kids down and used 2 sticks to represent a cross and read & explained Luke 23:33-34.  Next in the bag was a bottle of cinnamon (pictured) with some ace bandage for the wrapping of Jesus’ body, with which she used John 19:38-41. Then she pulled out a rock for the tombstone, reading Mark 15:46.  Last of all, there was an empty Easter egg to represent Jesus’ empty tomb. Matthew 28:1-7 summed up the VERY happy ending to the story, but we finished with John 14:1-3–Jesus is preparing a place for us in Heaven, too, so we can be with Him one day if we ask Him to forgive us for our sins!  Yay!!!

Our Easter Communion Service was a wonderful celebration of our Lord’s Resurrection.  A family of six visited that day–they had seen our sign at the building site, so they decided to come worship with us on Easter!  Praise the Lord!

God has been so good!  The sheetrock got completed and painted!  Special thanks to John Buschmann  & Ed Verra from Good News FWBC in Chesterfield, VA, for coming to paint and hang acoustic ceiling.
