Community of ChristChurch Easter Celebration: Celebrate Resurrection!

Saturday, April 16th, 7pm at Shepherd of the Valley


This year continues to bring us new opportunities along with new challenges.

How wonderful that after two years, we can finally gather in person for our Easter Resurrection Celebration! And, how strange it is that to make this possible, we will be celebrating the resurrection on the eve of Easter Sunday.

 

As the shadows lengthen and the sky grows darker on Holy Saturday, let us gather to hear the Good News story of Mary Magdalene coming to the tomb “while it was still dark.” (John 20:1)
Good Friday
Easter Flowers
ChristChurch has been invited to participate in Easter flowers at Shepherd of the Valley. If you would like to give flowers for Easter in memory of someone, please send an email to Pastor David. Please have memorial information to Pastor by Wednesday, April 13. 
 
There are 2 ways to donate flowers:
 
Purchase the flowers on your own and bring them to Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church on Friday, April 15 in time for Easter.
 
OR
 
Donate funds to go toward purchasing flowers. Send a check with "Flower Fund" in the memo line and Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church will use that money to purchase flowers for Easter. Make your check out to Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, 17625 NW Cornell Rd, Beaverton, OR 97006.
