Happy Holy Week! Isn't it precious that we have the privilege to worship our risen Savior? Pastor Michael mentioned several times on Sunday that God gives us what he demands of us. God requires obedience, atonement, and holiness. He gives us all of these things himself! Jesus obeyed perfectly, atoned for our sins, and is perfectly holy. What a Savior! 

As you think on the sacrifice of our Savior and the love of our Father this week, let's also think of how we can love one another. Need some ideas? Well, I encourage you to look through the announcements below and find a way to get involved in the comming weeks!

Yours,

Rachael McIntosh
