3 8 ATE Submitted by: Roxanna Maddox To say that the March 8-Ate was a SUCCESS would be an understatement indeed. A very heartfelt thank you to Tom and Pat Loftin, Lanna Moxley and Liz Spears, as well as Craig and Karen Atkins who were all gracious enough to open their lovely homes and serve as host/hostess for our very first 8-Ate dinner. All who participated had a delightful time of fellowshipping and becoming truly engaged with their fellow Parish members. The Nurture Committee has announced that the next 8-Ate dinner will occur on Sunday, May 1 at 5:30 pm. The Nurture Committee will be structuring this dinner a bit differently to make it even more interesting! All we need from The Parish is your unique and unwavering participation. A sign up list will be distributed during each of the morning worship services in April. Be BOLD, be DARING.. just sign up, and be prepared to be nourished with good food, awesome fellowship and more importantly, a strong and unifying Christian bond with your fellow Parish members. Nursing Home Ministry The Worship Committee of the Parish invites you to participate in our nursing home ministry during the month of April. Each Sunday of the month we will gather at 1:00 at the Jacksboro Healthcare Center, 211 E. Jasper, to provide worship time for the residents. If you have participated before, you know what a blessing it is for them and for us. If you haven t, please consider joining us. You don t have to sing a solo or preach! It is your presence as we sing along with the residents and pray with them that is the statement that we care and that they are important to us. They always give us a warm welcome. You will be blessed! Submitted by: Martha Salmon THANK YOU The Parish Worship Committee says a special thank you to: All those who provided lilies in memory or in honor of friends and loved ones Lanna Moxley who refurbished our cross for our flowering of the cross Grace Peterson of Woodshed Works and her supplier who donated the flowers for the flowering of the cross The children and youth who par cipated in our Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, and Easter services.

5 Rev. Caroline Hamilton will be in the pulpit on April 10th. She is the new Associate Director for Week of Compassion. Caroline s passion is connec ng people with the crea ve, re-crea ve power of the living God through stories and faithful ac on, and she believes a life of faith is about becoming part of God s ongoing work in the world. Inspired by the poet Ranier Maria Rilke s image of wholeness cascading into many shapes, Caroline celebrates the varied shapes held in our selves, our communi es, and God. She holds a Master of Divinity from Claremont School of Theology and a BA from Texas Chris an University, where she studied English, religion, and poli cal science. She and her husband, Jeremy, are in the middle of moving to Ohio. Don t miss this opportunity to connect around ministries of compassion as she shares with us!

GRACEISTS is a small group of women that meet in homes from time to time. Join us as we celebrate at the MADDOX HOME on April 20th at 7p. Snacks and beverages are provided. This month, we will be focused on the summer coming up and talking about FLIP FLOPS. All are welcome!

6 STUDENT MINISTRY Submi ed by: Kris ne Tisinger Our twelve tickets to Las Vegas have been booked! Ten youth and two sponsors will spend June volunteering in food pantries, women s shelters, clothing distribution lines, and other sites. We ll also have an evening of fun in Vegas. We will start fundraising on April 3rd in both churches to lower the final cost of the trip. The youth are starting a new 5 week series on Superheroes and Villains of the Bible on Wednesday nights. As a tie in, we will go see Batman vs Superman later this month. Details are to follow. This month we have four gracious sponsors who have signed up to provide food for the youth on Wednesday nights. Food will be prepared by Lois Paschal on April 6, Debbie Colbert on April 13, Cindy Hackley on April 20, and Lanna Moxley on April 27. On April 16 the youth from the Parish and FUMC are invited to participate in a lock in at the Parish. We ll start at 4pm with games, food, and movies. Baptism candidates from the Parish will complete their preparation and be baptized the following morning in the worship service. We will not have Sunday school on April 17 so that everyone has time to get ready for church services. Volunteer sponsors are needed, and are welcome to stay the whole night or part of the night. An air mattress is available for a sponsor willing to spend the night with us in the church. We hope you ll join us in this exciting event!

8 From Suzanne s Desk Senior Minister He is risen! He is risen indeed! And now the work begins to live life as the Easter People! But sometimes our expectations and routines keep us stuck in places we don t have to be. They keep our head bent downward and our gaze at our feet. Routine can often mean we don t have to pay attention, we can function on automatic pilot. But this year, Mother Nature decided to stir the pot, to waken the earth and all creation with a blast of warmth, color and an invitation to do March differently, after not much of a winter to speak of. Some of us have jumped up and joyfully entered into the moment while others of us lament the loss of the familiar. All too often we think of the new life that Christ gives as being external. We look for the signs of external change like the buds on the trees or the breaking of the ground. But before the external changes can come, we have to be open internally, deep within our heart and soul to the possibility of surprises, to the breaking forth of joy and new life. We have to let God be at work within us even in the dormant season of life. We have to remain confident that when we least expect it...the veil will lift and we will once more be surprised by the joy of creation and of our God. Living a life of faith as Easter people means we live with our eyes wide open, with hope on the brim of everyday and willing to respond to Gods invitation for a different kind of living, ready or not. My favorite poet, Ann Weems, died a few weeks ago. She was deeply connected to my work, and I am forever in her creative debt for her inspiration and her support of my creative endeavors. She penned a poem Easter Morning. EASTER MORNING From: Kneeling in Jerusalem, By Ann Weems The stirring wildness of God Calls brittle bones to leaping And stone hearts to soaring. Old women dance among the stars. Keeping in mind the Eastertide season, the wild and star-flinging God, we will be focusing on several passages from Acts in which the early Christian community formed itself as the Resurrection People. We will not bask in complacency, but instead find joy, hope and meaning as we join in the community of Christians around the world shouting: HE IS RISEN! I hope you will find time to join us as we, too, live out the Easter message in April.
