Cory is a third generation veteran, he serves as the Chaplain for the 1st Squadron, 113th Cavalry Regiment, Iowa Army National Guard. Cory’s unique perspective and life experiences will certainly set our hearts and minds on Christ as we begin the Easter weekend. Please join us for a time of food, fellowship, prayer and reflection in this holy season. To attend please pick up tickets from the Welcome Center at church or in the church office.

GOOD FRIDAY COMMUNITY SERVICE
A Good Friday Community Worship service will be held at Immanuel Church on Friday, March 30, from 12:10-12:50pm.  The focus will be on the 5th Word from the Cross “I thirst.”  Both a financial and non-perishable food offering will be received for the Local Food Pantry.

SATURDAY NIGHT LENTEN EXPERIENCE
If you want to slow down and be still during this season of Lent, consider coming to the sanctuary on Saturday nights.  We’ll gather at 8:00 PM and finish by 9:00 PM.  You will experience quiet ways to read, pray, be, listen, share, and consider God together through guided spiritual practices introduced each week by Shirley Folkerts.  Come once, come twice, or come every Saturday until Easter—all are welcome! Please contact Shirley Folkerts at: Shirley.Folkerts@dordt.edu with questions.
