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 through the Park Avenue Church.
 
April is a Special Month at Park Avenue
Here's what to expect in the next few weeks:
 
Today, April 6 – Mission Fair in the Atrium
We will have exhibits and information on our foreign mission works set up in the Atrium for you to familiarize yourself with how PACOC is responding to Jesus's command to GO tell the whole world about his mission. Stop by before and after worship.
 
April 6-20 – Prayer and Fasting
We are calling all PACOC members to a time of prayer and fasting for all our outreach efforts supported by the Grace Offering. On the Grace Offering brochure, you will find listed the local and global works financially supported by the Grace Offering and beside each one is a corresponding date for you to lift up that mission in prayer. Fasting could include a food fast (skipping a meal or giving up a particular food) or many people do a social media fast to allow themselves more focused time in prayer. Fasting helps us focus on spiritual needs and draws us deeper into prayer for a particular cause.
 
April 13 – Daisy's Little Red Wagon
This year we have two wagons to collect the coins our children have been collecting over the past year. This contribution begins our Grace Offering and is an inspiring time to see our kids participate in this grace of giving. Adults, bring your coins as well and hand them to a child as they come forward to fill up Daisy's Wagons!
 
April 20 – Easter Sunday and Grace Offering
Because of the larger crowds on Easter, this year we will have two services on Easter Sunday – one at 8:00 AM and another at our traditional 10:00 AM time. Children's classes will be offered only during our second service. The contributions from Easter Sunday, the Grace Offering, will all go to fund our local and global outreach efforts. Our goal this year is $165,350, over 8 times our weekly budget. We are asking all PACOC members to give generously as we respond faithfully to the call on God's people to take the message of the gospel to all people far and wide.

For more information go to pacoc.net/go or feel free to call the church office.

"Therefore GO and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:19–20 (NIV)
