WMU NEWS April 2025

April is here- “Spring has sprung,” but so far, no April showers to bring May flowers. We are in a particularly dry spell with red flag alerts for potential forest fires and gusty winds. Not a good combination! But we are confident that in God’s timing, He will send the needed rain to refresh His earth. In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine and moderate temperatures that God is        providing and just rejoice each day for His many                            blessings to us.

April 20 is Easter Sunday, and we will be celebrating with a sun rise service that early AM. It is a very                     special fellowship for our church to be together to                      recognize the “Son’s” arrival on the 3^rd day so many years ago. Make your plans to attend.

But before that special event, the preceding Sunday, our Sanctuary Choir will present the very moving cantata,           “ I Surrender All” which brings us back to the Cross, the reasons for the Cross and the darkness right before the Son light breaks through. It should cause us to reflect on that great sacrifice because of the Father’s love for us. Come and bring a friend; you don’t want to miss it.

Our WMU will be meeting the second Wednesday of April 9^th in order to give everyone time to collect                  requested items for the homeless shelter in Murphy. We will also be sponsoring the April Food Roundup for the Broyhill Children’s Home in Clyde and Hayesville. A list of items needed will be available in the church foyer and a container for your items will be provided. All items need to be at church no later than Wednesday, April 23^rd.

Happy Easter,

Helen
