Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Sri Lanka today, especially with the families of the 290+ people who died in a massive terrorist attack on Easter. May God surround the people of Sri Lanka with peace and bring comfort and healing to all those affected by this horrific tragedy.

The entrance procession this Easter morning included the children carrying flowers to decorate the cross.

Easter morning!

Good Friday

Still time to come for Palm Sunday services. Also time to have coffee first.😊

Two important fundraisers happening today... • Buy a Bowl, Fill your Soul April 4, Idaho Falls Soup Kitchen, 4:30-7:30. Buy a $20 hand-made bowl and get a to-go container of delicious soup to enjoy at home. This fundraiser supports the Community Outreach Center, sponsored by Breaking Boundaries. • A Light in the Window Also on April 4th, McKenzie River will donate 20% of all non-alcoholic purchases all day long to support the new Light in the Window organization, which is working to provide a safe place for LGBTQ+ and all youth who are homeless or just need a safe place to go.

I was so uplifted by our worship yesterday. The service was designed by the youth and Pastor Gina and much of it was led by the youth as well. The faith of kids is amazing and God does amazing things through them. Praise God for the gift of children and youth!

Pastor Gina Herman giving the Children’s Message this morning and Keith Skilling preaching the Message on the topic of the Queen of Sheba in honor of Women’s History Month.

There is a short Bible Study beginning at 10:20 a.m. on Sunday mornings. It covers the day’s scripture lessons. Coffee hour begins at 10:15 and the worship service at 11:00. Come as you are!

New Day Lutheran Church advocates for peace and justice and condemns all acts of violence against a particular people group or religious group. We stand with Muslim communities around the world, especially in light of the most recent attack on the Muslim synagogues in New Zealand. Our thoughts and prayers are with all Muslims who stand for peace and justice, especially our brothers and sisters of the Idaho Falls Muslim community. We pray for peace.

This morning at New Day. The children’s sermon was about St. Patrick.

Still time to come for coffee and the worship service on this beautiful Sunday morning! Bible study too at 10:20. Church at 11 o’clock.

There was a very lively closing song this morning at New Day with pianist Fred Marcum.

Here is a video that hopefully captures a small flavor of our worship service this morning honoring Black History Month. It is the beginning of a very powerful sermon by David Manson.

Such a fun closing song from pianist Fred Marcum today at New Day including participation from the children.💜
