Hi all.
There is a lot of valuable information to share this week & I didn’t want to hold it up for the link to the video of todays service. Here is the link to our YouTube page where the video will be posted. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCScrv8cHacL911WiMnDSsZA It should also be posted to the front page of our website.
The theme for next week is holding the tension of death and life with joy. Scripture passages:
· Psalm 118:1-2, 14:24
· Acts 10:34-43
· 1 Corinthians 15:19-26
· John 20:1-18
There is a lot going on this week (prep for Easter, the Lords Supper, Good Friday service as well as the events on Easter) so please take a look at the dates & events below!

REMINDERS:
Please set up Amazon Smile to automatically make donations when you shop. There are separate numbers for text to give for each congregation; Eugene is 1-458-209-2209, Salem is 1-971-273-5588. If you need help getting set up with either Amazon Smile or texting donations, please see a member of the advisory team & we would be happy to help you.
I will continue to add any prayers received on request slips during Sunday service to the prayer wall on our website unless the slip specifically says that it is not to be posted on-line. The prayer wall is available 24/7 for anyone to add a prayer. Although the prayer wall is on Eugene’s website it is also open for Salem members to use! Once at https://gcriverroad.com/ hover over the ANNOUNCEMENTS heading at the top of the screen & then click on Prayer Wall when it appears. Scroll to the bottom of the prayer list to enter your request into the
provided fields. The name field is required; however, if you would like to add a request anonymously, you can enter “anonymous” there. You will still have to enter your email address, but it will not be posted anywhere. Once you have filled out the four fields (name, email, prayer request & select to share), click submit to post your request to the wall.
