 “Easter
Victory: He Lives”
The day of Victory is almost here. Jesus, the crucified, is about to
become Jesus, the Resurrected Savior. Easter Sunday is the day to
celebrate the breaking of death’s stronghold on human existence. “The
wages of sin is death.” However, with Jesus our lives may continue with
purpose and meaning. We must believe, practice faith, and live by the
teachings of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. When we do we
share God’s loving nature with one another.
Today we celebrate the Power of Jesus’ Resurrection and Love. We can be
forgiven of our sins and find life in Christ Jesus. Springtime has come
to bring a renewal of life. Young people are professing their faith in
Jesus and truly accepting for themselves the guidance of Jesus’
teachings.
Come and celebrate with us on Sunday. Come and feel God’s presence and
power. Come and receive the Joy of Easter.
He Lives!,

 Easter
Sunrise Service
7:15 Easter Morning
Early on the first Easter the women went to the tomb to
prepare Jesus’ body for burial. They were greeted by the empty tomb and a risen
Christ. Their day and our lives were changed forever by that first Easter
Sunday. Early on Easter morning this year we will continue the celebration of
our risen Christ. The youth will be hosting a sunrise service in the church
parking lot at 7:15 a.m. Dress warmly and let’s greet this new day. God is still
changing lives.

Sunday Offering Is This Month
Each of us can make a small difference in the life of a
child at Holston United Methodist Home for Children. All of us together
can make a very large difference. You can help to transform the life of
a child who needs to experience love, forgiveness, and wholeness. We
will receive a special offering on March 30th to support this vital
ministry. Please be prepared to give generously.

the church office, 982-6192, to make your reservation by Monday, March

Hike To Whiteoak Sinks
 Again
this year, the United Methodist Men will offer a hike to Whiteoak Sinks.
The date is Saturday, April 12. We’ll meet at the church at 8:30 for
donuts and coffee. After a very brief business meeting for UMM members,
we’ll car pool to the Smokies for our hike. Bob Hayes will lead a group
on the same 4-mile hike we did last year. Kevin Teffeteller will lead
another group on a shorter and easier hike that also leads to the sinks.
This is open to all interested people. You don’t have to pre-register;
just show up at the church. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes. For more
information, call Bob at 984-5149.
