Pastoral Prayer May the joy and hope of Easter fill our Pastor(s) this month. May it energize our Pastor(s) and congregation to proclaim the Good News we place our hope in. We rejoice along with our Pastor in the hope we have in Christ and his resurrection. “Because you have been raised from the dead, preaching the gospel isn’t useless; it’s essential. Faith in you isn’t futile, but fertile. We’re no longer encased in our sins; we’re fully wrapped in your righteousness…Because you have been raised from the dead, we’re less to be pitied than anybody, and more to be grateful than everybody. Your resurrection changes everything.” – An Easter Prayer by Scotty Smith [adapted] Pastoral Birthdays and Anniversaries 4/12 - Debbie Federico - Anniversary BCN Ministry Team Pa
