On Easter Day I spoke briefly about the resurrection of our mortal bodies to eternal life. I’m curious if this topic is of enough interest to anyone else for a sermon on April 18, 2021. (We’ll be listening to the Bishop’s sermon this coming Sunday, April 11, 2021.)
Christ is Risen. Christ is Risen Indeed. Alleluia!

There will be a graveside service for Braxton Hogan (the two year old son of Ellen Dobbs) tomorrow, Thursday, April 1, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. at Prairie Mound Cemetery.
We’ll have three in-person worship services this weekend (with masks and social distancing). The first will be at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 3, 2021. The second and third will be on Sunday, April 4, 2021 at 8:15 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. It was great having 57 of you for Palm/Passion Sunday and I’m busy finding more seats for Easter.
(On a personal note, I’m also super excited to have my parents coming up on Saturday. We haven’t eaten a meal with them in more than a year, but they’re now fully vaccinated and Jenny and I are too.)
There will be an in-person Holy Thursday service of Tenebrae this Thursday (April 1, 2021) at 7:30 p.m. I hope to have the recording posted by the evening of Good Friday (April 2, 2021).

We’ll be doing a Service of Tenebrae this Holy Week. There are 16 scripture readings, the youth have stepped forward and volunteered for eight of them. I just need eight more readers who can record their part beforehand (we only need audio, but video is okay as well). Please let me know if you’re interested. We’ll have an in-person service on Holy Thursday evening (April 1, 2021) at 7:30 p.m. and hopefully we’ll have the video online in time for Good Friday.
Tomorrow, Friday, March 26, 2021, the Community Foundation of Dickinson County is doubling all donations made to the First UMC Endowment fund (up to $5,000). You can give online at http://www.donatedickinson.com or take a check down to the Community Foundation Office in the old Astra Bank Building.
To be clear: this money goes into the church’s endowment fund which means that we can only draw on the interest. For this reason we’re looking for donations that go above and beyond your regular giving.
