A blessed holy Saturday, everyone. We pray you’ve been able to spend some time the last couple of days contemplating the sacrifice and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, even as we prepare to celebrate with great joy His resurrection from the dead tonight and tomorrow.

You’re all invited to join us for the Great Vigil of Easter at All Saints in Jonesboro tonight at 7:30 PM. Also, please join us for the festival Divine Service at All Saints for the Resurrection of our Lord tomorrow morning at 9:30.

Please note that we will NOT have Monday Divine Service at First. Please try your best to join us either tonight or tomorrow at All Saints. Peace be with you.

The Great Vigil of Easter is tonight, Saturday, at 7:30. We gather in the darkness; we encounter the light and life of the risen Christ. Everyone is invited. Please join us. You’ll be glad you did.

We pray everyone has been staying warm and safe this week, and that you were able to follow last week’s service online from All Saints Lutheran Church.

Please note that this coming Monday is our annual joint Candlemas Divine Service at All Saints in Jonesboro (so we will not have our regulalry scheduled Monday service at First this week).

We very much hope and pray that you will be able to make either tomorrow morning’s service at All Saints and/or the Candlemas service at All Saints Monday evening at 6:30pm.

Starting February 9, we will be back to our normal schedule.
