AP E-News
Good morning,
We are at the midway point of our journey with Jesus to the cross and empty tomb. May he continue to bless us as we take up our cross and follow him. He is our refuge and strength. Come Sunday to hear another way that this is true and how we are blessed.

Prayer Notes:
- Let's join many others in asking the Lord to provide relief from the wildfires. We pray for rain and calm winds. We pray that he keeps people safe (wildlife too) and property loss at a minimum. We especially pray for Rick and Donna Godwin who had to evacuate their home. There may be others as well. God bless and keep safe the firefighters and all who are involved in this effort. We entrust ourselves to God's perfect plans. He is our refuge and strength.
- I am aware of two members who will be undergoing surgery soon. Rick Zebrak will have hip surgery on Monday, April 1st, and Rich Lemke will have neck/spine surgery on Tuesday, April 2nd. May God graciously protect Rick and Rich, and may he help the medical team use the gifts he has given them so that the surgeries are successful. God grant peace from his loving promises. He is our refuge and strength.
- Lori Yenof is now in recovery after surgery for a broken hip and wrist. We ask the Lord to grant her quick healing and full recovery, along with patience and peace during her time of rehab.

- If you have not yet paid for your Easter flower donations, please do so on Sunday and mark "pd" by your name on the sign-up sheet.
- Sign up Sunday if you are interested in playing softball (just for fun) on a Sunday afternoon. We are trying to gauge interest level in such an event.
- Easter invitations are available on the information table. Take a bunch and share with family, neighbors, and friends.
- With Rich Lemke's recovery time after surgery we are looking for someone to temporarily take over his role as the "can man" (gather up the bags of donated aluminum cans at AP Five Forks). Let me know if you can help.
- Chick fil-A spirit night is March 27th (5-8 pm) at the Woodruff Rd restaurant. Come for dinner and support APA. Thanks.
- Teens...sign up Sunday for summer camps (Amazing Race for 9th-12th, Camp South for rising 4th-9th). Youth funds support some of the costs. And remember the Youth Car Wash planned for Saturday, April 5th (11-2).
- Campus Workday at Five Forks is Saturday, April 12th (starting at 8:30 a.m.). Today we received a load of mulch under the playground trees - so if anyone has time to spread it out, feel free to get started.
