Visits to the Broadway Market, family gatherings, egg hunts, spring vacations are all signs of Easter and the coming spring (we hope!). For Christians we now reflect on the meaning of Jesus resurrection – Hope, love and peace.

From Deuteronomy 4:9 “…watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.” During May we celebrate two holidays filled with memories – Mother’s Day and Memorial Day. At Four Corners we remember the mothers who provided us with guidance, love and were an influence on the growth of the church: Delphina Mt Pleasant, Mamie Williams, Mrs. Windsor Pierce, Frances Jemison, Eleanor Lavis, Lois Jimerson, Girlie John, Ruth Abrams, Lena Pierce, Lori Nephew and Alicia Jemison. On Memorial Day we will honor the many men and women from our territories that have served – and are currently serving – in the U.S. military. We must not forget our honored ancestors and we must tell our families about them and the importance that they have had in our lives and our community.

We ask everyone to pray for our communities – for those struggling with illness, for those struggling with addictions, for those struggling with domestic abuse and for those who are without faith. Pray for wisdom for our Nation leaders and for the leaders of the United States and countries throughout the world.

You and your family are invited to join us for word and song on Sunday mornings. Service is at 9 followed by refreshments in the fellowship hall. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Peace be with you.
