Easter Egg Hunt 2025
Saturday, April 19th is our annual Easter Egg Hunt hosted by the Outreach Board! Children up to 12 years of age are invited to come and hunt for eggs filled with candy or a number for a prize. We will meet in the gym at 11 AM for an Easter message and receive egg hunting instructions. Invite your family and friends to come. We are also seeking volunteers to stuff plastic eggs with candy, (at home or here at church), and to help hide eggs or check-in our egg-hunters that Saturday morning. Sign-up sheets and a candy collection basket are in the narthex. |

Good Morning ,
Holt Lutheran School's Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is hosting a Craft Show on Saturday, April 26th. Attached is a flyer with a link for an application if you are interested in participating in this event. This is a fund-raiser for the school and the $35 fee is a donation. If you are "crafty" and would like to participate, please use the attached form by March 1st. Any questions, please contact Darcy Kirkpatrick as listed on the flyer, not the church office, because we don't know anything! 😁 Here is the craft show flyer. We are asking that anyone interested in being a vendor fill out the application. On the flyer click on the link and it will take you to another page to sign up.

You can also put them in the designated box on the counter in the church office. The eyeglasses will be donated to MOST ministries for their mission trips. Contact the church office for questions. |
“Fear not, for I am with you..." Isaiah 41:10
The entire order of service is being projected on the wall. However, hymnals will once again be offered if you choose to use one. You are always welcome to bring your own. You will find bulletins on a table once you enter the church as well as a basket in which to place your offerings.
During the service there will be microphones picking up the sounds of the congregation so those listening to the live-stream can hear the singing of hymns. The camera is set up along the wall of the media room, or the wall to your right if you are facing the altar. Jade will be signing during the service, so if you're walking in front of the camera that will block the view of those who have difficulty with hearing.
There will be no ushers serving at this time. Those members of an LCMS congregation wishing to receive the Body and Blood of Christ may come to the railing at the time they choose.
Bible study is continuing to offer coffee. There is plenty of room for more of you to attend.
These changes and rules may be too rigid for some people and too lax for others. However, ultimately, the Church is not based upon rules, laws, guidelines, executive orders or emergency declarations. It is based upon the love and mercy of God, without which all of us would already be dead and suffering in hell. He calls us to live lives of mercy and grace, while we love one another. He does not call His children to live by the letter of the law. The Triune God is the only Expert who knows the real truth, and He has already numbered each of our days. There is nothing you or I can do to lengthen them. As time goes by, we will get better at this if we work together in humility and repentance.
-God's peace to you-
Pastor Poellet
OUR MISSION: To know Jesus and to let Him be known, by reflecting God's love, teaching our children and serving the community.
