We are entering the week that changed mankind’s history forever. Holy Week. Jesus enters Jerusalem triumphantly and by the end of the week is crucified dead and buried. Three days later He rises from the dead which changes everything forever. This life is not the final game. It is the beginning of an eternal journey for those who accept the Grace of Jesus as their Lord and Savior. This life can throw many curve balls at you. No one is exempt from the troubles of this world. But what happened on Easter changes everything! Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Everyone needs to know Jesus! Who will you be bringing to church this Easter? Without knowing Jesus, Easter is just another day.
This Sunday there is only one service and it will be at 10:00am! Pastor Jackie and IUMC invite everyone to come and receive your palm and listen to the Sunday school children present their Easter Program. Following the service there will be an Easter Egg Hunt and the congregation is invited to the lower level for a fun foods brunch. Lead by pastor Jackie and the Sunday school children.
Maundy Thursday the 29th Pastor Jackie and Jordan Grammer will remember Jesus’ last night with His disciples. This service will begin at 7:00pm in the Journey’s Inn room including Holy Communion and foot washing.
Good Friday Stations of the cross will be set up in the sanctuary. You will travel from station to station to pray and reflect on the suffering that Jesus endured during His passion. You may come anytime between 6:30 and 8:00pm.

Prayers:
Jennifer Kaburik has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Prayer warriors, we all know what to do with this! Surrounding her with the mighty angels of God and Jesus’ healing love. Jennifer will be singing with us on Easter Sunday so be sending her your love and prayers!
Lane Kaburik my helper every Sunday I preach who runs our music slides has had surgery for a ACL repair. I’m a little late on this one since he already has had surgery and is doing fine but we want to lift him to God’s healing grace.
Mary and Leland Knapp need God’s healing touch. Both of them are having health issues that need God’s healing grace.
Special Request: Sally McLauchlan is looking for help on Easter Sunday for the coffee hour. Both IUMC and PCF will share the duty that day because we are expecting a full church. If you would be willing to help Sally, please call her at 618-978-3490. Thank you in advance.
