ROMANIA MISSION TRIP
Madison will send 18 people
to Romania for a two-week
mission trip. While there,
team members will build two
houses for homeless families,
among other outreach
activities. As the April 1st
deadline for team members
to turn in their funds to
pay for their trips fast approaches, a
few members are still in need of financial support.
If you would like to help support any of the team members,
please designate an offering to the Romania Mission team.
MOVIE NIGHT AT MCC
Join us Friday, April 8, at 7 p.m. in the Madison Christian
Church Auditorium for a showing of Woodlawn. Jr. and Senior
high students will sell popcorn and other refreshments to raise
money for their summer trip to CIY.
Woodlawn, rated PG, is the story of a gifted high school football player who must learn to boldly embrace his talent
and his faith as he battles racial tensions on and off the
field. It is based on the true story of how love and unity
overcame hate and division in early 1970s Birmingham, Ala.

No Holes in Our Holiness
Colossians 3:5-11
“(5) Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your
earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil
desires and greed, which is idolatry. (6) Because of these,
the wrath of God is coming. (7) You used to walk in these
ways, in the life you once lived. (8) But now you must
also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger,
rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
(9) Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off
your old self with its practices (10) and have put on the
new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the
image of its Creator. (11) Here there is no Gentile or Jew,
circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave
or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.”
