Dear RiverTown Family,
This Sunday we bring to a close the HOME series and our journey in the steps of the biblical character Nehemiah. He rebuilt the heart and soul of his nation when he rebuilt the wall around Jerusalem. In the book of Nehemiah chapters 9 and 12 we’ll see just how powerful a biblical celebration can be!
Here are some points from this Sunday’s upcoming message:
- Days Of Spiritual Celebration Raise Us To Higher Highs And Carry Us Through Lower Lows.
- Real Worship Celebrations Help End Depression, Worry, Overworking, Stressing, Obsessing And Sickness.
This powerful message comes on the day churches all over the world have relived Luke chapter 19 and celebrated Palm Sunday since the first Easter Resurrection morning. The celebration at the finished wall in Jerusalem fits in perfectly with the Palm Sunday Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem just one week before his crucifixion for our sins and Final Victorious Resurrection!
Our Easter financial offering goal is a big challenge. We have been challenged as a church to give $10,000 in our offering on Easter Sunday morning towards building a new cross and prayer garden. Jesus bore his cross for us. His Cross has been the one symbol uniting all true Christians over every generation since His resurrection. The new 30 foot wooden cross on the front of our building will be a permanent witness to the entire community. It will rise up above the horizon to inspire people to enter into a new way of living and attract them to the place where they can find it. Every dollar counts. Please pray and ask God what part He wants you to play in this great opportunity to become part of the legacy of the cross of Jesus Christ at RiverTown Church!
Speaking of EASTER… Next Sunday, April 5th, will be our biggest and best Resurrection Celebration ever!
