We had beautiful Holy Week services starting with Palm Sunday with breakfast after the service, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday, with all three well attended. On Easter Sunday the sanctuary was beautiful with lilies on the cross and flowers up around the altar. Thank you to all who helped us with all the flowers. The organ, the Choir, and Don Smith’s solo and, of course, Pastor’s sermons all through the week. We have turned a page here at Living Lord and are headed in the right direction. It is such a joy for me, as your Council President, to see what we are doing now as a church. Let’s just keep reaching! May will be outside flower month. We will be picking up our flowers shortly and will be having a planting party within the next few weeks. Thanks to the congregation our outside flower fund reached just under $1,000.00, which is great! I cannot wait to see the finished product out front and the patio behind the Fellowship Hall. We will be doing some outside projects this summer funded by the Fuchs Fund. The entrance and exit of the parking lot will be dug up and repaved back 40 feet from Route 46 on the exit side and on the entrance side the driveway will be widened at the road and dug up to the sidewalk in front of the church about 50 feet back from the road. The current handicapped spaces out front will be replaced as they are falling apart. We will then convert all the parking spaces in front of the Education Wing to handicap spots. That will give us a total of 14 handicap spaces. All the spots in the back will cost us nothing. We will be removing the final two trees behind the Fellowship Hall and having the stumps grinded level to the ground. My vision for that space is to landscape to some degree. I will share my visions for that space at a later date. Thank you all for your help and understanding as your Council President and I appreciate your support.
