BULLETIN
April 5, 2026
I want to wish you and your family a happy Easter! Today we celebrate the resurrection and the living hope we have in Jesus. Because of Him, we are set free from sin and death!
We have several opportunities for you as part of our celebration:
Photo stations are available in the lobby today. Stop by for a picture with your family and friends.
Fifteen minutes after this service, all children through Grade 5 are invited to participate in an Easter egg hunt. Pick up your child from the nursery or Kids Wing, then walk across the street to Pelham Road Elementary School. We’ll provide an Easter bag for each child, and there’ll be a special egg hunt just for toddlers and preschool kids!
If you’re a guest with us today, we hope you can join us after the service in the lobby. We have coffee and donuts for you, and we’d love to have a record of your visit. Fill out a blue card or our online connection form, and get a gift at our Guest Services table. Extra seating is available in Room 107, and our hosts can help you locate scent-free seating. You can find this bulletin online at morningside.org/bulletin, and today’s guest
