New Announcements & Reminders:
Easter Selfies
To add to our Easter festivities, we encourage all of you to take advantage of this beautiful weather we are having and get outside to take a selfie with a homemade sign celebrating Easter. Then just send your selfie pic to pastordavid@comchristchurch.org by the end of Friday night (4/2/21).
 
Suggestions for words and phrases for your sign:
Alleluia!
Happy Easter!
Christ is risen!
Christ is risen indeed!
The tomb is empty!
 
If you don't want to make a sign, consider a selfie next to some spring flowers... daffodils, lilies, whatever is blooming!

Thank you in advance for participating!
We will incorporate these images into worship for Easter Sunday.

Q&A with a Nutritionist - FREE

 Each month I'll focus on a specific topic. I share a bit about the topic for 5-10 min and then open it up to questions from you - which can either be related to the topic or something completely different!

This is a win-win - you get a FREE mini nutrition class, plus a large amount of time dedicated to YOUR questions - no matter what they are!
 
As a reminder, my FREE Q&A sessions are the first Friday of every month at noon PST. Registration details below!
 
Here are the upcoming topics:
April 2nd @ noon- Nutrition and Sleep
May - Nutrition and Stress
