ERCC KIDS
We’re looking for a few helping hands to serve in our Children’s Ministry! Specifically, we need one Preschool teacher for the 1st Sunday of each month and one helper for the 3rd-5th grade for April, July and October. If you love kids and want to make a difference, this is a great opportunity to bless our families. For more info or to sign up, please contact Pastor Adam after service.

PRESTON FOOD BANK
Preston Food Bank is making a huge impact, supporting 200 families each week and creating special care bags for women, children, shut-ins, and more each month. To help them continue this vital work, they are in need of plastic and paper shopping bags, magazines, and egg cartons. If you’d like to contribute, please place your donations in the cardboard box located in the church kitchen. Sally Williams will be collecting items every Sunday. Thank you for helping make a difference in our community!

WORSHIP SONG - APRIL
What joy the season of Easter brings as we remember Christ's sacrifice on the cross for us to cover our sins, once and for all. We did nothing to deserve His grace and mercy, and yet we can gratefully sing "It is done! It is finished! No more debt I owe! Paid in full, all sufficient merit not my own."
All Sufficient Merit by Shane & Shane
