CFR Legacy Planning Seminar
Everyone can agree that it’s important to have a plan for your savings, your home, and your children when you’ve gone to Heaven. But as many as 70% of us don’t have an estate plan in place. Our ministry partner, Christian Financial Resources, will be here to help you learn how to reduce taxes, save time and money for your loved ones, designate a guardian for children, and establish a Will or Living Trust for your family. Join us for a Legacy Planning Seminar on Saturday, April 26, at 9:00am. This event will be at no cost to you!

Message Notes:
“Encounter Joy”
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. 13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”
14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. 15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her. (John 20:11-18)
- Mary’s encounter reinforces Jesus’ desire to elevate those who are overlooked.
- Mary’s encounter with Jesus confirms the historical validity of his resurrection.
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. (2 Peter 1:16)
With Jesus, We Go From…
- Darkness To Light. (John 8:12)
- Desperation To Hope.
- Dejection to Celebration.
