LUNCHEON

Our Seasoned Saints will be meeting here at the church for a time of fellowship and a good meal on Thursday, April 27.  If you’re a seasoned saint, come join in on the fun.

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP

Lamar Matheny is our newest member!  He trusted Christ back in 2003 and has been an important part of our fellowship all his life.  While church membership won’t get you to heaven, it is a way to declare your commitment to the local body of believers and to participate directly in the work that we do here at Open Door.  We are thankful for Lamar and his desire to honor the Lord in his life.

COUPLES FELLOWSHIP

Couples Fellowship for the month of April will be an activity.  We will be meeting at Andy B’s, 6276 Stage Road, Bartlett, for some bowling and then going out for dessert.  Cost for bowling is $20 per couple plus shoe rental of $3.25 if needed.  Bowling money needs to be turned in to Bethany Henry by next Sunday, April 23, to reserve lanes.

V&E ArtWalk

NOTE:  The ArtWalk has been moved to Sunday afternoon due to weather on Saturday.

The V&E ArtWalk is next Saturday, April 22, 11AM-6PM.  This event showcases Memphis area artists while raising money and awareness for the community-owned V&E Greenline.  There’s a children’s area with art activities and bounce houses.  Join in at 1625 Tutwiler on The Greenline.

CELEBRATE THE RESURRECTION!

Join us Easter Sunday morning as we set our hearts on the message of victory the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ brings.

8:30AM Breakfast -- We will meet in Wilson Hall (aka the fellowship hall) for a big breakfast.  Everything is provided.  You just need to show up.

Maier's The Week that Changed the World: A Historian Looks at Easter.  This documentary presents a step-by-step look at the events of Holy Week, shedding light on the key players, unravelling the political intrigue, and answering long-standing questions about what happened and why.
