Pastor Bernthal’s Bible Class
THANK YOU to everyone who came and helped with the work day yesterday. We appreciated all you work. Also, thanks to the Journeymen for lunch and coordinating everything.
CONNECTIONS CLASS started last Sunday. There is still time to join this week if you are interested in joining the church or reviewing the basics of our faith. Pastor Besel leads the class. It meets in Classroom 1 B at 9:30am.
YOUTH RETURNING FROM YOUNG CHRISTIANS WEEKEND TODAY We will be looking forward to hearing all that happened over the weekend from Cameron and the 17 young adults that attended. The event included worshiping together, studying in seminars, listening to great Christian artists and riding all the rides Silver Dollar City had to offer!! We pray that those who attended developed a closer relationship with God, each other, and made new friendships with others attending from all over.
BIBLE STUDY Pam Pickett will begin a study of the Book of Jonah next Sunday, April 9th, for everyone in the congregaton. There is so much nore to the story than Jonah being swallowed and then spit out by a big fish. Join us in Classroom 1A as we look at how Jonah’s behavior isn’t so different from our own sometimes. Study will be led by Pam Pickett on Sunday mornings at 9:30am.
CONFIRMATION PARENTS Just a reminder that grades are ready after our second grading period. Please schedule a Pastor/Parent/Student conference with Pastor Besel in the near future. Thanks.
CONDOLENCES We offer our Christian sympathy to the family of Ida Bender. Ida was a shut-in member of our congregation. She died this last Monday afternoon. The funeral is planned for this coming Friday at 10 AM at Rollins Funeral Home here in Rogers.
We also offer our sympathy to Dave Lehenbauer and his family upon the death of his cousin, Rev. Jack Faszholz, who died this last Saturday. For Trivia buffs, Pastor Faszholz was also a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinal organization in the 1950’s. In 1990 he was inducted into the Rochester Red Wings Hall of Fame with the most victories for a pitcher in the history of that minor league franchise.
EASTER BREAKFAST Easter is coming up quick and with it, our annual Easter Breakfast fundraiser! This event is put on by the youth of Holy Trinity to support our ministries here, fellowship events, and our trek to the 2019 LCMS National Youth Gathering. As usual we ask members of our church to donate the supplies we need to put on the breakfast and you will find the donation slips on a board in the Narthex starting today. Please take what you can and please have the supplies back by or before Good Friday, as we prepare certain things that Saturday. Thank you for your continued support of our youth group!
PALM SUNDAY NEXT WEEK Next Sunday we will be celebrating Palm Sunday. The service will begin in the Narthex and we will process into the Sanctuary as part of the service.
LIFE QUOTES “What do we tell you young people as you struggle with temptations and tough choices, mood swings, and confused feelings about your identity? We want you to know whose you are and that you can make good choices because you are created, redeemed, and called..” *Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, former Executive Director of Lutherans For Life*

LUTHER QUOTE FOR THE WEEK
Since the Word places before us Christ,it thus places us before him who has triumphed over daeth, sin, and Satan. Therefore he who grasps and retains Christ. Has thus also eternal deliverance from death. Consequently, it is a Word of life, and it is true, that whoever keeps the Word shall never see death. (Church Postils, Judica)
