“Because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You. I will praise You as long as I live, and in Your name I will lift up my hands.”
Psalm 63: 3-4
A note from Paul Williams, Minister of
Music
I did not know Jimmy Roberts. I had never even heard of him until he sang at our church on April 12 at our Montana mission fundraising concert. His words had to be slurred because he had a stroke that had affected his face, but what I heard was perfect pitch and clear words.
His testimony probably went over most people’s head, but it landed on my heart. You were a mountain of a man Jimmy Roberts, and you have made a lasting impression on me.
As we approach our summer schedule, I will need singers to fill some slots on Sunday mornings. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It might not even sound good to you. But I bet it will speak to someone, and the message will land on someone’s heart.
What’s your excuse?
I bet Jimmy Roberts would say “there aren’t any!”
Singing for His glory,
Bro Paul
A note from Taylor Stacey, Associate Minister of Music
As we approach one of the most meaningful celebrations of our faith, Easter Sunday, I want to encourage each of you to begin preparing your heart for worship now. Easter is more than a day it’s a powerful reminder of the hope, victory, and new life we have through Jesus Christ.
One of the best ways to prepare is through worship during the week. Spend time listening to songs that reflect the message of the cross and the empty tomb. These are some of my favorite songs. Let these truths settle into your heart as we anticipate celebrating together:
• “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today”
• “Crown Him with Many Crowns”
• “Because He Lives”
• “The Old Rugged Cross”
• “Resurrecting”
• “Death Was Arrested”
• “Glorious Day”
• “In Christ Alone”
• “What He’s Done”
• “At the Cross”
Each of these songs tells the story of redemption from the sacrifice of Jesus to the victory of His resurrection. As you listen, reflect on what Christ has done personally in your life and come ready to worship with expectation.

Looking Ahead to Palm Sunday
This Sunday, as we celebrate Palm Sunday, will be a special and meaningful time together. We will partake in the Lord’s Supper as a church family, remembering the sacrifice Jesus made for us and preparing our hearts for the week leading up to Easter.
I encourage you to come with a spirit of reverence and gratitude as we reflect on His great love.
We cannot wait to worship with you during this special season. Let’s come ready, with hearts prepared, voices lifted, and eyes fixed on Jesus.
Taylor Stacey,
Associate worship leader
