Our church will partner with four other Waterloo churches (United Methodist, Agape Assembly, Freewill Baptist, and New Life Lutheran) for a Good Friday Community service from 7-8 PM tonight. It will be held at New Hope. Although each of these other pastors comes from a different background that has different distinctives, I love working with these guys. We all understand that we must focus on what we have in common and not on our differences. And we all have a firm conviction that Jesus is the Son of God, died on the cross to pay for our sins, three days later rose from the dead, and is soon coming again. And we believe in working together to get the word out.

I hope that you’ll take time out of your busy Easter weekend schedule to attend this Good Friday event with brothers and sisters from area churches. We will all set aside our worship style preferences to focus on unity. This night we will be one church.

And remember, before Jesus could come out of the tomb, He had been to placed into it first.
