BULLETIN
March 29, 2026
On this Palm Sunday, we want to consider how Christ is our humble King. This week let’s reflect on God’s incredible love shown through Christ—His perfect life, His sacrifice for our sins, and the hope we have through Him. I want to invite you to join us for our Good Friday service at 7:00 PM, and again next Sunday as we celebrate the resurrection and the living hope we have in Jesus. Because of Him, we are set free from sin and death!
We’re expecting many guests, and we want them to feel welcomed. Overflow parking for church members will be available across the street at Pelham Road Elementary School, and an additional overflow service will be held in Room 107. I look forward to celebrating this special week with you!
This evening, pastor, evangelist, and cancer patient Bob Roberts is preaching for us again at our PM gathering (5 PM, AUD).
