Readers, welcome back! This month's edition will feature a few of the church's accomplishments, as well as, Youth activity and the long-awaited return of our communion service.

Paint class

The Youth Department leader Bro. Andrew Jamel would like to thank everyone who came out and supported the April 10th paint class. Those in attendance expressed their excitement and eagerness to be a part of this experience. The event encouraged the teens and adults to focus and explore their creative side while learning new painting techniques in an afternoon of fun. The class was a huge success, and there will surely be another one shortly. Don't miss out on the next one when it is announced.

Communion

A communion service is a sacred act of spiritual communion

that commemorates Jesus' death on the cross. Prayer meditation and eating the emblems that represent Christ's broken flesh and spilled blood are used to commemorate this solemn occasion. After two years of anticipation, the long-awaited communion ceremony took place on April 23rd, 2022. Members and guests had the opportunity to reflect on what God has done in the previous two years and where they are today. The congregation was also encouraged to prepare their heart and mind to partake of the emblems worthily. Let us never forget Christ's sacrifice for us.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  John 3:16
