As we also remember those who have gone before us, joining the great cloud of witnesses, we are filled with hope through the resurrected Lord of Life. May His Shalom be our consolation and His Presence our strength. We lift up Jeff Brown, who was briefly hospitalized this week with some respiratory issues. We pray for healing not only for this but the cracked collarbone he experienced a couple of weeks ago. May strength and healing come in Jesus name! Norman Ledeboer, Lois Cook's brother, is hospitalized currently due to low platelet count. Pray for wisdom for the doctors and healing for Norm. Pray for the powers of depression and anxiety and fear to be broken and for Joy to come to all who long deeply for it! Stewardship Corner: Signs of life. Green grass. Budding trees. Birth of child. Breathing. Heartbeat. Giving. Yes, giving. We may not always think of giving in that light, but our act of ministering to another by way of time and resources is evidence of life within us. A dead soul can't give. Giving is also life-filling work. Stewardship is life-empowering work, blessing both giver and receiver. Let's continually live resurrection life to the fullest in our generous giving at all times and in every way. Thank you for your life-sourcing and life-empowering tithing and giving here at Unity! Blessed to be a blessing!

Join us as we celebrate together our Risen Savior! An Open House Baby Shower for Emma Elaine Rolffs, infant daughter of Zach and Amber (Duininck) Rolffs will be held on Saturday, May 4 from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at Unity CRC. They are registered at Target. Emma could not come home to Minnesota until the Judge made his ruling and signed the adoption papers. This took three weeks and then the snowstorms followed. So, this baby shower will be a bit different as it will also be a "Meet and Greet" for our families, many of whom have not gotten to see Emma yet. You are invited to an open house baby shower honoring Josh and Megan Groen on Saturday, May 4, at 10:30 a.m. at the First Lutheran Church in Renville. The couple is expecting a baby boy in June. They are registered at Target. What will be your legacy? Because of our partnership with Barnabas Foundation, they provide charitable giving services to Christians like you seeking ways to honor God with the resources with which you have been blessed. James Prichard, will be meeting with Christian families in our area on May 1 and May 2. Call Ann Zacek at Barnabas Foundation toll-free at (Ext. 121) to schedule your complimentary conversation with Jim.
