Haut Gap Spring Fest
Thank you to everyone who donated eggs for the Haut Gap Spring Fest! A special thank you to Mary LaRoche and Heath Gunther for being brave enough to be in charge of the "egg toss" and to Meemee Williams, Terri Porcher, Nancy Berrong and Sally Frazier for managing the "Donut on a string game". I'm pretty sure the students had almost as much fun as we did! Prayers were felt all during the event!

Pray for the Youth at the Charleston County Detention Center
Thank you so much for your generosity! We reached our goal!
Fifty Easter bags were delivered to the Charleston County Youth Detention Center filled with multiple Easter cards, toiletries, snacks and chocolate bars! More details forthcoming next week so stay tuned!
Please pray that God will use the cards to share the great love He has for each of those youth who are imprisoned and give them hope. We know God is at work there and are so thankful that He is allowing us to come alongside Him. Come, Holy Spirit, Come.

Collect
April 17. Easter Sunday
O God, who for our redemption gave your only begotten Son to die upon the Cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the devil and the power of death: Grant us grace to die daily to sin, that we may live with him in the joy of his resurrection, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, now and forever.
