Easter<br />

April 16, at 8:30am & 11:00am<br />

Holy Week is approaching and<br />

with it, one of the most important weeks<br />

in the Christian year. I hope that you are<br />

planning to be a part of the various<br />

services and events during that week.<br />

On April 9, during our one service that<br />

day at 11:00 am, our chancel choir will be<br />

presenting “Come Walk With Me,” a<br />

Palm/Passion Cantata with costumes<br />

made by Betsy Sibert. We will still gather<br />

for Sunday school that day at 9:45 am,<br />

but we will not have an 8:30 am service.<br />

Following the cantata we will gather in<br />

the Children’s Education Building for a<br />

covered dish luncheon. Meat will be<br />

provided, but plan to bring a few side<br />

dishes to share! When the meal is over,<br />

our children will enjoy an Easter egg<br />

hunt on the church property.<br />

During the week following the<br />

cantata, we will journey together to the<br />

cross. Instead of having our normal<br />

Wednesday night fellowship meal and<br />

activities we will gather instead on<br />

Maundy Thursday, April 13 for a simple<br />

meal at 5:45 pm followed by a service of<br />

communion and remembrance of Jesus’<br />

Last Supper with his disciples in the<br />

Children’s Education Building. The next<br />

evening, on April 14, we will gather in<br />

the sanctuary at 6:00 pm for a Tenebrae<br />

Service focusing on the last words of<br />

Christ. This service is a somber and<br />

meditative service that will include<br />

various readings and simple<br />

congregational responses. It is meant to<br />

lead us to the cross and help us to more<br />

fully understand its meaning. Childcare<br />

will be provided for both services and we<br />

hope you will join us.<br />

Having followed Jesus all the way<br />

to his death on the cross on Friday, our<br />

celebrations on Easter Sunday, April 16,<br />

will be that much more meaningful! We<br />

will begin with a Sunrise Service at 6:30<br />

am at Hunting Ridge Retreat. Then, our<br />

regular service times at 8:30 am and<br />

11:00 am will follow in the sanctuary. At<br />

each Easter service we will celebrate the<br />

Good News that our God has broken<br />

the power of sin and death, offering us<br />

new life and new hope!<br />

I hope you will plan to journey<br />

with us as we walk to the cross together.<br />

We have created postcards available in<br />

each narthex so that you can remember<br />

the dates and services. Feel free to grab<br />

a few and invite your friends and<br />

neighbors! It is with thankfulness and<br />

joy that we are reminded of God’s love<br />

and deep care for each of us during this<br />

Holy Week.<br />

With hope,<br />

Rev. Kristin Whitesides

“Grace Notes” by Lori<br />

“Carrying His own cross, He went out to the place of the skull (which in Aramaic is<br />

called Golgotha). Here they crucified Him.” John 19:<strong>17</strong>, 18<br />

As we move through these days of Lent and prepare for Holy week, the hymn “When I<br />

Survey the Wondrous Cross” comes to mind because of its personal expression of gratitude<br />

and love. It was written in <strong>17</strong>07 by Isaac Watts while he was preparing for a Communion<br />

service. Of his 600 plus hymns, it is one of his more widely known and beloved<br />

texts.<br />

Spend a few moments pondering this hymn that so vividly expresses our Savior’s dying<br />

love for us.<br />

“When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”<br />

When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died,<br />

My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride.<br />

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God;<br />

All the vain things that charm me most-I sacrifice them to His blood.<br />

See, from His head, His hands, His feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down;<br />

Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown?<br />

Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small;<br />

Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.<br />

When you are…..<br />

Worried- Matthew 8:19-31<br />

Anxious- Philippians 4:4-9<br />

Unhappy- Colossians 3:12-<strong>17</strong><br />

Lonely- Psalm 23<br />

Depressed- Psalm 27<br />

Lacking in Faith- Exodus 14<br />

In Need of Courage- Joshua 1<br />

Struggling with Loss- Luke 15<br />

Seeking Peace- Matthew 11:25-30

Sherry’s “Son” Shine Notes<br />

Watch Me Learn<br />

From Early Years-Working together for a great start<br />

“I can say my ABC’s!” “Listen to me count to 10!” Children this age are eager to show you what they know.<br />

Keep the learning-and the excitement going with these suggestions:<br />

Read along with me: Encourage a love of reading by making your child an active participant. If a story has<br />

repeated phrases, put him in charge of reading them. Pause before the last word of each line in a nursery rhyme,<br />

and have him supply it. Turn the tables at bedtime: give him a book he knows by heart, and ask him to read to<br />

you.<br />

Make writing an everyday thing: Offer your youngster meaningful opportunities to write letters and words. If she<br />

pretends to be a rock star, request her autograph. Or if she draws a birthday card for a relative, ask her to dictate<br />

what she wants to say, and use a highlighter to print her words. Then, she, could trace over the letters with a<br />

crayon or marker.<br />

Just add math-to everything: Playing with math concepts will develop your child’s number sense. Have him sort<br />

and count beads to make bracelets. In the grocery store, challenge him to spot every number, 1-10, on signs and<br />

labels. At snack time, he might explore shapes by connecting pineapple chunks or strawberries with toothpicks to<br />

form flat shapes (squares, triangles, rectangles) or 3-D ones (cubes, pyramids).<br />

THANK YOU…THANK YOU…THANK YOU!!!!<br />

The staff and students of “Son” Shine Learning would like to extend a huge preschool hug and<br />

thank you to Bill and Kitty Shendow for their very generous donation to the needs of the<br />

Children’s Education Building by purchasing five new air conditioner units for the classrooms.<br />

We will think of both of you when we are nice and cool in the warm months.<br />

Blessings,<br />

The Staff and Students of “Son” Shine Learning Center

The Easter story is such an important lesson for children of all ages to hear for the first time and then to hear over<br />

and over again in a variety of ways. We often learn best when our activities are supported by visual prompts. These<br />

yummy cookies represent the empty tomb that was found on Easter morning leading us to know that HE Has<br />

Risen…<br />

Resurrection Cookies<br />

(To be started Easter eve)<br />

1 ziplock bag<br />

A rolling pin<br />

1 cup whole pecans<br />

3 egg whites<br />

1 tsp. vinegar<br />

A pinch of salt<br />

1 cup sugar<br />

Tape<br />

Bible<br />

Instructions:<br />

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Do not skip this first (very important) step!<br />

2. Begin following the chart below. Read the scripture to the child and discuss each part<br />

of making the cookies and how it relates to the Resurrection.<br />

Cookie Instructions<br />

Place pecans in ziplock bag<br />

and let the child break up<br />

nuts<br />

Let the child smell the<br />

vinegar and pit in into the<br />

mixing bowl<br />

Add egg whites to vinegar<br />

Sprinkle salt into the child’s<br />

hand and let them taste it.<br />

Brush remaining salt into<br />

bowl<br />

Add sugar to the bowl<br />

Beat ingredients on high<br />

speed for 15 minutes or until<br />

stiff peaks form<br />

Fold in crushed nuts and<br />

drop teaspoon sizes of<br />

mixture onto a cookie sheet<br />

covered with wax paper<br />

Place cookie sheet in oven<br />

and turn it OFF!!! Give the<br />

child a piece of tape to seal<br />

the oven door<br />

On Resurrection morning,<br />

open the oven and eat<br />

cookies, taking notice of the<br />

cracked surface and that the<br />

cookies are hollow<br />

Biblical Correlation &<br />

Explanation<br />

Jesus was arrested and<br />

beaten by the Roman<br />

soldiers<br />

When Jesus was thirsty on<br />

the cross, the soldiers gave<br />

him vinegar to drink<br />

Eggs represent life. Jesus<br />

gave His life to give life to us<br />

Salty tears were shed by<br />

Jesus’ followers<br />

The “sweet” part of the story<br />

is that Jesus dies because He<br />

loves Us! He wants us to<br />

know and belong to Him<br />

White represents our sins<br />

being cleansed by Jesus<br />

The mounds represent the<br />

rocky tomb where Jesus’<br />

body was left<br />

Jesus was placed in His tomb<br />

and it was sealed<br />

On the first Resurrection,<br />

Jesus’ followers were amazed<br />

to find the tomb open and<br />

empty<br />

A New CEB Steam Table<br />

The Children’s Education Building (CEB) kitchen steam table<br />

must be replaced. It is very old and worn out, as it was installed<br />

in the late 1950’s when the CEB was built.<br />

$4,000.00 is the cost for the replacement. The E.T. Clark Mens<br />

Bible Class has decided to head up the effort to raise the funds<br />

for this project.<br />

Anyone who would like to contribute to this effort, please send<br />

your donations to our Church and mark them “FBC CEB<br />

Kitchen Fund”.<br />

Thank you for your assistance with this project.<br />

Sanctuary Arrangements<br />

Sanctuary Arrangements are needed for this year. If you would<br />

like to honor a birthday or anniversary or place an arrangement<br />

in memory of a loved one, please call the church office.<br />

Sanctuary arrangement order forms are also available in each<br />

narthex. The cost of each arrangement is $35. The arrangement<br />

may be taken home or delivered by a deacon to one of our<br />

hospitalized or homebound members .<br />

Volunteers for Our Homebound Members<br />

Volunteers are needed to provide assistance to several<br />

homebound church members who no longer drive or have<br />

family close by to help. If you’re willing to help take the member<br />

to the store, a medical appointment or run an errand for them,<br />

please call the church office (662-5367). Your help would mean<br />

so much to someone unable to accomplish simple tasks on their<br />

own.
