It is so good to be able to worship together on Easter Sunday.

And I want to say a huge thank you to our worship team and our creative team for initiating

new ways for us to still get to gather as a church during this unique time.

online, you can send checks to 323 Airport Road. But our leadership felt like we had an incredible

opportunity to serve our community on Easter Sunday. So here's what's special
