6 A big thank you to all those who helped with the Edgerton Congregational UCC Easter celebration! Whatever you did, even if it was just to come to worship you were an important part of the UCC celebration. Don t you just love Easter egg hunts? Thank you to those who helped stuff the Easter eggs with goodies for the UCC hunt. It is so much fun for everyone. On a side note: I have to share this. I got to my church choir room on Easter Sunday morning to rehearse for the 10:30 service and of course the Easter egg hunt was over. However, one of the choir members spotted an orange Easter egg that had not been found by the children underneath the folding chair cart. Literally, you would have thought the church choir discovered gold! Thank you guys for another great annual Easter Morning Pancake breakfast. Good food and a good time enjoyed by all. You are fantastic and do great work! Thank you for all those who donated Easter flowering plants in loving memory and/or honor for the Easter worship service. The flowers help to make the worship service very meaningful and beautiful.

Adjournment at 3:00 P.M. Theologian John Shelby Spong Returns to Trinity UCC Brookfield 4435 North Calhoun Road Brookfield, WI contact@trinitybrookfield.org Many of us have had the distinct pleasure of hearing John Shelby Spong, author and theologian, preach at several of our morning services in the past, and have heard thought-provoking lectures in the afternoon. He will be returning to the pulpit at Trinity on April 17 for the morning service. During the afternoon lecture at 1:45 p.m., he will be speaking about his latest book, Biblical Literalism: A Gentile Heresy.
