AP E-News
Sunday is our final in our series - "Refuge of the Weary." We conclude with a parable of Jesus that prepares us well for Holy Week. We see a father foolishly sending his son to carry out a mission that results in his death, and a son who willingly goes. Our Father in heaven sends his Son to death so that we might never die. Come Sunday to hear more.

Prayer Notes:
- We join Rick and Rhonda Zerak in thanking the Lord following his surgery on Tuesday. Rick is home and we ask God to bless him with a quick recovery and a return to good health.
- We also join Rich and Deborah Lemke in giving thanks to the Lord. Rich's surgery went well and he plans to be home on Friday. God bless his recovery.
- Let's include a prayer for Mr. Granberg who received a Call last night to teach 1st grade at Divine Savior Academy in Houston, TX. May God bless him with peace, wisdom and clarity as he deliberates where to serve the Lord with his gifts.
