“Jesus Lives! He rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” 1 Corinthians 15:4

Dear Members and Friends,

It’s a joy to begin preparing for Holy Week for the 2nd year with our brothers and sisters from Maplewood Baptist Church. Our two congregations continue to work closely together and as evidenced by ongoing efforts, including our most recent Town hall discussion, we are envisioning a future that brings us together.

As we enter into the Easter season and look ahead to Christ’s resurrection, Pastor Gary and leaders from both congregations have been working on a variety of worship and outreach efforts. Please note the addition of a sunrise service this year, which will be held in cooperation with the other congregations that share our buildings.
