On Sunday, we will consider the resurrection account from John 20. It is a chapter filled with tension and emotion as the followers of Jesus discover His empty grave. Yet one of the disciples struggled more than the others. He is even known to this day as “Doubting Thomas.” But can we learn something from Thomas about genuine faith? I look forward to seeing you this Resurrection Sunday as we worship our Risen Savior!
Don't forget to share the Geocaching Event on social media for us! It's easy, just go to the Facebook event, and click the share button to share the event with all your friends. We hope to see lots of families participate and encounter Christ this weekend.

Easter Geocaching Adventure
April 2, 3, 5: 7:00am to 7:30pm
April 4: 12:30pm to 7:30pm
We're excited to host this unique and engaging outreach activity! Along this geocaching Journey to Hope, you'll learn about the first Easter, Jesus's sacrifice on the cross, and the hope we find in Him today. Geocaching is an outdoor activity, where participants use GPS on their mobile device to hide and seek locations called "geocaches" at specific predefined coordinates. The course utilizes our beautiful campus, is easy/moderate to navigate with some inclines, and takes approximately 40 minutes to complete. Invite your friends, neighbors, and family to participate in this safe and fun-for-all-ages activity!
Individuals and families are encouraged to complete the adventure anytime during Easter weekend that's convenient for them (with the exception of Easter service times). Download the Actionbound mobile app before you arrive on campus to get started quickly. While participating, please use the provided hand sanitizer along the way and keep socially distanced from other participants. No registration required.
