Kingdom Greetings,
I am sure we all are reflecting upon the significance of this
holy week,and the coming celebration this Sunday of the
Resurrection of Christ!
This is the most important event that the church as family celebrates
together. While I am sure we will all be in attendance, consider that
"Lifeway Research" reveals that 56% of Americans say they would
attend an Easter Church Service if invited by a friend.
So, I implore each one of you to invite a friend, family
member, or co-worker to join with us this Sunday, as we"showcase"
the Glorious Christ who redeemed from our sins!
Finally, Click on this brief clip and see why it is Good Friday!

Update During Spring Break
Greetings Saints,
You will be pleased to know that after reviewing the response we
received concerning Wednesday evenings, the following
enhancements are being implemented in order to make
it much more feasible for everyone to participate.
Many who regularly attend Wednesday evenings live outside
LaGrange, drive in to work, then return home,only to drive back
to LaGrange for the evening teachings. This reality is even more
burdensome for those with school age children and the difficulty
is further compounded by increasing gas prices.
With sensitivity to these issues, the following features will be
implemented next Wednesday April 13th.
1."The Gathering" will provide a simple meal at 6 pm.
The objective is to make it easy to leave work,bring the children
and enjoy a fellowship meal together.
> sign up will be necessary in order to ensure adequate food.
> signing up means showing up.
> so no"maybe or possibly" please.
2.The teaching session will begin "approximately" at 6:30 pm
>we will conclude by 7:30 pm.
>Remember, we are "organic body" rather than "static institution".
>So come as you are, enjoy the "family" dynamic, share a meal
and worshipfully engage the sacred scripture together.
For The Kings Honor!
