We had a beautiful week-
end in which to celebrate a
most holy event. We cel-
ebrated Good Friday at
First Baptist Church of At-
lanta, which was well at-
tended. Several pastors
from the area officiated.
Easter Sundayturned out
to be a lovely day for the
Easter services all over
town. At the Full Gospel
Church in. Atlanta, Pastor
Dave Fisher, based his ser-
mon from John 20:1-13,
which was titled: "3 Prom-
ises of Easter." Each prom-
ise is marked by something
empty. An empty cross, an
empty tomb, and empty
burial cloths, none of those
things could hold Him.
"He arose!" Just as He said.

At the Community Bap-

Easter Sunday services
were very special. Pastor
Killion told of the gift of
Hope that Jesus Christ
gave us by dying on the
cross. We can have the gift
of eternal life if you accept
Jesus Christ as your Savior.
He shed his blood to cover
our Sins.

thew, and Hannah Armon

ing the puppets! We really
