One of the most celebratory days of the Christian year! Spoiler alert: Jesus doesn't stay in the tomb! Join us online or in person on Sunday, March 31 at 9am or 10:30am as we joyfully participate in the story of Jesus' resurrection with song, prayer, Scripture, preaching, and bursts of colorful spring flowers. Please contact the church office (616.399.9280) to purchase a potted Easter flower in honor or in memory of a loved one. Flowers are $10 per pot, and will be available to take home after the 10:30am service. We hope you can join us in celebrating!

Easter Offering
All designated gifts and loose cash for next week’s Easter Offering will go to support Intersection Ministries Global Food program. One Saturday a month they celebrate the unique culinary delights of a country while serving 60-80 neighborhood friends. Recently, Ottawa Food's budget cuts cost them financial support for this program so our gifts will help it to carry on.

Join us on Saturday, March 30, 11am-12:30pm. Invite your friends and neighbors to this fun event that will include donut holes, a candy scramble in our “grass bowl,” a reading of the Easter story, Blue Dog bounce house, and many other cool activities for kids up through 5th grade. Contact Betsy Bruins with questions: bbruins@fellowshipreformed.org

The Gallery just outside of the Sanctuary will be available on Good Friday morning for self-guided, devotional engagement of the global crucifixion artwork and stories along the walls. Stop by anytime between 9am and 12pm on Friday, March 29. Enter through the Sanctuary doors on the north or south side of the building.

We will gather together on Thursday evening, March 28 @ 6:30pm (traditionally known as Maundy Thursday) to immerse ourselves in the story of Jesus' final hours: the passover meal he shared with his disciples, his betrayal, suffering, humiliation, crucifixion, and death. Through song, Scripture, prayer, and visual art, we will lean into the tension and paradox that The Crucified One Is Lord. Join us in person or online.
