TODD’S TAKE
Good morning and welcome to our worship services. If you are a guest with us today, our prayer is that you are blessed by our time of worship. We invite you to talk with any of us about how God is working in the Park Avenue Church.
 
Our family has had a busy week as my son Bao was married this Friday, so Tyler will be bringing the message this morning. We will resume our study on I Thessalonians next week.
 
April is a big month here at PACOC, culminating with Easter Sunday and our Grace Offering on Sunday, April 20. See the graphic below for the events leading up to Grace Offering. This year we are going to offer two services on Easter Sunday to accommodate the typically larger crowd. More details will be coming soon.
 
Allow me to encourage all of you to prayerfully consider your financial gift to this year's Grace Offering. We are asking a lot of you, but that is because we see so many opportunities here in our community and throughout the world to spread the seeds of the kingdom. All of Easter's offering will go to just that—sharing with the world the Good News that Jesus is risen from the dead!
