Easter is Coming!

Dear Friends,
Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
These are the words of Jesus in John chapter twelve.
This week The Happiness Research Institute released the results from the Longest Study on Happiness. One of the conclusions was that people who care for others first end up happier in the long-run. “Putting yourself first” doesn’t work after all!
But Jesus’ words are even more challenging! Lose your life? Find out more this Sunday as Pastor Mark preaches on the passage!
The readings this week will be Jeremiah 31:31-34, Hebrews 5:5-10, and John 12:20-33, and we will be singing the hymns O Worship the King, Now the Green Blade rises, My Song is Love Unknown, and Lift High the Cross!
