[RISE Weekly] Youth! Good Friday! Easter! 🙌
Youth tomorrow @ FBC Warehouse, Good Friday & Easter Details, Parent Meeting Apr 24, James in Ukraine Update, Sign-up for SUMMER CAMP!
Dear Parents,
We’ve got an exciting week ahead of us with Youth Group tomorrow night, Good Friday, and Easter this Sunday! Youth will be at the same time and place (details at the bottom of this email). GOOD FRIDAY will be taking place THIS FRIDAY, April 15 at Cole Canyon Elementary School with two services, one hour long each, at 6pm and 7:15pm. EASTER will be taking place THIS SUNDAY, April 17 at MVHS PAC at 8, 9:30 and 11am with the ICE CREAM TRUCK and special CAKE POPS to celebrate and fellowship. Remember there is NO YOUTH on Easter Sunday.
Invite all your friends, neighbors, and family members to our services! Who knows what kind of entertainment-focused they might get dragged into on Easter if you don’t invite them to ours! There will be no fog machines or flashing lights at our services, but the gospel will be preached and Christ will be exalted! Can’t wait to celebrate His death and resurrection with you.
PARENT MEETING – APR 24 (During 1st Service)
Please join us on Sunday, April 24, during 1st service for a Jr High PARENT MEETING! We want to update you on all our plans for the end of the semester leading up to Summer Camp. You’ll also find out any changes to Discipleship Group Leaders starting in May. New incoming 6th grade parents are also invited!
THIS WEDNESDAY – 4/13
We’re back this Wednesday at the FBC Warehouse! It’s been fun going through parables together and this week we will study our final parable together. You know it, you love it, you should study it again – The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). I’m excited to look at the JOY of Christ in heaven when sinners are brought to repentance. This parable is covered in SHAMEFUL behavior and rebellion, but thanks be to God that we have a Father who SEEKS US OUT and FORGIVES US and brings us into His FAMILY! Read this passage over with your students if you can!
IT'S TIME... SIGN-UP FOR SUMMER CAMP!
The closer we get to camp the MORE EXCITED we are getting because this camp is going to be INCREDIBLE!

JAMES IN UKRAINE UPDATE
I went on a supply run into Ukraine earlier this week. Praise God that all was safe! However, other drivers have been in more dangerous situations and have even come under fire. Please pray for driver safety.
EBTC is sending 2-4 shipments per week, consisting of thousands of pounds of food, generators, medical supplies, and other items. They just made 9 more orders for various things, including 30 pallets of pasta and rice. Please pray that we would continue to be able to send aid through existing donations and future efforts.
Ukrainian churches are being affected differently depending on where they're located. Some are housing refugees, some are in active war zones. Please pray that our brothers and sisters in Christ would be HOPEFUL, DEPENDENT, and GOSPEL-DRIVEN in this difficult time.
ETBC is sending literature to Ukraine to strengthen the church. Amazingly, God has provided funds for more than 30,000 gospel tracts, bibles, and new believer books to be sent to Ukraine! Please pray that these materials arrive safely.
God is providing many opportunities for the Gospel in this time. Churches are passing out flyers and gospel tracts while distributing food in their neighborhoods and holding daily prayer meetings. Please pray that God would use this time to bring many people to a saving faith in Jesus Christ!
I’m thankful for another amazing week celebrating and worshipping our Lord together! See you all tomorrow night!
In Him,
Terrell

Last Week
We enjoyed a taste of a warm, summer’s evening last Wednesday at Jr. high. We played “Baby! Back pack! Bunk bed!” outside and then went in and spent some extra time in prayer. Terrell preached a clear message on the Parable of The Rich Man and Lazarus and we had ample time to discuss it in small groups afterwards. We are so thankful we get to model to these students the absolute joy that comes from following Christ!
