Did you get a picture this morning in the photo booth? We would love to see and share pictures of the Bethlehem family from Easter morning. Be sure to tag us in your pictures or share them in the comments below.

The banner titled "He Is Risen" was painted by the children and youth of Bethlehem, including the Bridge families, Wonderful Wednesday students, and preschool classes. The bench was built and painted by the Wonderful Wednesday worship design students under the direction and support of John Jeffrey, Lisa Jo Dunham, and many wonderful adult volunteers.

Today was a beautiful day, inside and out, as we gathered together to celebrate our Risen Lord! What a joy to gather together and share our praise through worship, song, and the beauty of God's creation with flowers brought in by members of our congregation at each service.

Thank you to our children and youth for filling our worship spaces with their artistic creations. Their beautiful additions to Easter worship include new stage decorations in the Bridge, an Easter photo booth, and a beautiful dance presented by our Praise Dance team. Thank you for helping us experience God and worship Him in a new way through your gifts.

Bethlehem has been blessed to have Amber Scott as our fantastic nursery worker for more than 13 years. Amber's ministry of nurturing love has been such an important part of who we are at Bethlehem.

Thank you, Amber, for caring for some of our most important and vulnerable guests at church each Sunday and Wednesday. Thank you for you comfort and compassion, silliness and joy, and big, warm hugs as you welcomed in little ones and reassured parents leaving their children in your care.

Amber, our dear friend and sister in Christ, please know that you will be greatly missed by so many! May God bless you and your family as you begin a new chapter in life. You are so very loved!
