Sunday, Ap
God of mercy, we no longer look for Jesus
among the dead, for he is alive and has become
the Lord of life. From the waters of death you raise
us with him and renew your gift of life within us.
Increase in our minds and hearts the risen life
we share with Christ, and help us to grow as
your people towards the fullness of eternal life
with you, through Christ our Lord, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now
and forever. Amen.

Eternal God, we praise you that your glory has dawned on us, and brought us

and that he has conquered death, risen to rule over all powers of this earth. We
praise you that he summons us into new life, to follow him with joy and gladness.
By your Spirit, lift us from doubt and despair, and set our feet in Christ’s holy way,
that our lives may be signs of his life, and all we have may show forth his love.
Praise, glory, and thanksgiving to you, our God, forever and ever. Amen.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and
buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he
ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.
Amen.

Room 202
Please note: We will not meet today. Our next meeting date will be April 27. New Life
Class is a wonderful group of parents who meet Sunday mornings to discuss relative
topics related to parenting and marriage. Our purpose is to provide a time and place
for couples to grow closer to God. We will do that by studying scripture and we’ll glean
wisdom from current books related to parenting. Our next book will be Just Tell Me
What to Say by Betsy Brown Braun. We will learn how to the tackle tricky and tough
questions our children may ask. We will dive deeper into Biblical references as well.
We hope to see you there! Led by Alisia Thompson and Kim McCauley. Contact Kim

Moses: A Reluctant Leader
Begins April 27! 10:15 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Chapel
Like many of us, Moses’ past failures had made him reluctant to
take on future leadership roles. In spite of this, Moses became
one of the greatest leaders in Israel’s history. Knowing that he
faced challenges that far exceeded his abilities, he learned to
trust God. Following Moses’ example of faithfulness, we will
learn valuable spiritual lessons and how God can use the least
likely when they have a servant attitude. Led by Dale Vollrath.

We are exploring a five-session DVD-based Bible study, Promised Land, by noted
teacher and historian, Ray Vander Laan. It is the first of the 12-part Faith series. In it,
Vander Laan explores how God guided his people to the Promised Land to impact
the world both in ancient times and today. Just like the time and place of our birth
shapes our journey, so the land and culture of the Hebrew people shaped their
lives. By weaving together the Bible’s fascinating historical, cultural, religious, and
geographical contexts, Ray Vander Laan reveals unique insights into the Scriptures’
significance for modern believers. For more information, please contact Mark Jones
[email protected].

FEATURED MISSION PARTNER
The JESUS Film Project
A Glorious Update on Easter Sunday
uring the last several months, three exciting events have taken place, which
have strengthened the connections between and among the Church’s
Mission Committee, our Mission Partner Advocates, and with a number of our
Missionaries. First, we welcomed Missionaries who were able to be with us
during the 2014 Mini-Missions Expo in January. That included a Wednesday
Dinner during which Rev. Bill Cruz, at the nearby Good Samaritan Mission, was
our featured speaker. This event was followed by a Saturday Luncheon which
was attended by Committee Members, interested Church members, and a
large number of our Missionaries in person or via videos. This gathering gave
all of us excellent opportunities to get much better acquainted with each other.
Our Missionaries and their Mission Partner Advocates expressed their deepest
thanks for the generous “Love Offering” distributed at the end of our luncheon.
spotlight on missions
D
Several weeks ago Mission Committee members had the honor and pleasure
to talk via SKYPE with the four enthusiastic Christian women, who served as
“on the field Coordinators” of the JESUS Film production. We were pleased to
hear they had finished directing 25 actors from the first people group selected
for financial support by the COP. It is wonderful to be reminded that Wycliffe
translates the book of Luke. Then JESUS Film people come in and identify 25
actors who can read the words from the JESUS Film in their people’s heart
language. One of these women plans to work on the COP second people group
within a few months! The JESUS Film, as we know, is a project of the Campus
Crusade for Christ.

FEATURED MISSION PARTNER
The JESUS Film Project
A Glorious Update on Easter Sunday
The three young women
are the 3 of the 4 film
team who picked the 25
actors who could read
the people language
for Church of the Palms’
first group.
spotlight on missions
On Monday March 24, seventeen COP members went on the Wycliffe and JESUS
Film Bus Trip and spent 90 minutes with three of the four highly skilled directors.
The directors had just finished working overseas with the first of two COP people
groups. These dedicated and very caring field coordinators reported that our
first people group will soon have the JESUS film in their Mother Tongue.
The Wycliffe and JESUS Film hosts asked their visitors to pray for the following:
for peace in their country, which for security reasons must remain unidentified;
that Christians will not have to move away from their own villages; for the
Christian leaders so they will be able to show the JESUS Film effectively to many
locals; for the chief of the people group who has been open to them doing
what they are doing to develop the JESUS Film for their people group; for the
25 actors and locals who are in need of prayers for safety for themselves and
their families; for the most effective ways of showing the JESUS film after it is
completed so many will see it; and that many may accept Jesus as their personal
Lord and Savior. As you might imagine, our bus group returned deeply inspired
by their visit and eager to share their impressions with other members of the
Church of the Palms. For more information, please feel free to contact Gabriel
de Guia Gabriel, [email protected] and Mission Partner Advocates Reyn and
Doris Kamphuis at [email protected], 360-8474.
The inscription above
the display reads: “Each
gumball represents one
sweet person who has
committed to pray for a

God’s word.”
