TODD'S TAKE
Today is a special day in more than one way. Of course, today is special because it is Easter but today is also special because it is our annual Grace Offering Sunday. All of today’s contribution will go towards funding the outreach ministries of the Park Avenue Church—from helping the needy right here in Texoma to preaching the message of Christ around the world. For a list of the ministries we help support financially go to pacoc.net/go. God is using our time, talents, and treasure to His glory here and around the world!
Happy Easter
So glad to have everyone with us this morning to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. The empty tomb is at the very center of our faith. The resurrection is proof positive that Jesus is the Son of God and a vivid reminder that death will not have the final word for people of faith. Sin and death have been defeated through the grace nad mercy of our God!
Daisy’s Little Red Wagon
Our Grace Offering got off to a great start last Sunday as we collected $2,602 in coins (and a few bills scattered about) in Daisy’s Little Red wagon. It’s always such a great joy to see our children giving to the Kingdom. Thanks to them and all our parents and grandparents for leading our children into the grace of giving.
