Easter is coming, which means it is time to hang out with "our" kids over at Plantation Park Elementary. Each year we get the opportunity to head over to Plantation Park to hang out with the kindergarteners, showering them with love and having an Easter Egg hunt. The kids and teachers have a blast! If you have never had the opportunity to participate in our activities at Plantation Park, you are missing out on a true blessing!
Here is the information for Easter with Plantation Park:
We need to stuff some eggs (1200 - 1400 eggs) - so we need candy. We are collecting individually wrapped candy [no chocolate, please] to stuff into the eggs (lots and lots of eggs). We have started our collection drive which will run through Monday, March 30th. Bring your candy to the church, or you can also deliver it to On The Road Coffee Co. (next to Pepe's).
Let's Ride!!...
March 8th is the 2nd Sunday of the month. If you are new to Open Road Fellowship, that's when we jump on our bikes and head out as a group right after church for a nice ride. It's an opportunity for us to grab some good food and enjoy some fellowship as we take some time to get to know one another. The direction we head is always an adventure but geared to provide a relaxing time out on the bikes. Invite your friends; maybe a nice ride might be what motivates them to come to church. Hey, and if you don't ride, don't let that stop you from enjoying the day...just hop in your car and follow along.
North, south, east, or west... no matter where we head, you are sure to enjoy the ride. So, come join us for our next 2nd Sunday ride!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE MARCH 2026 SERVE DAY!
Let's get the party started! Our sister church, United Outreach in Bossier, is throwing another block party, and they have asked us again for our help. We all had a great time partnering up together last time, and they are looking forward to another great day working together in fun and fellowship! Let's step up beside them as they step outside of their building to interact and impact their community. We'll need the cook team, snow cones, jump houses, games, drinks, cleanup, etc. Basically, we need the whole deal. So, mark your calendars, sign up here, and plan on joining us in encouraging them to step out and be “The Church.”

Easter is right around the corner, and we’d love for you to invite and bring your unchurched friends to celebrate with us! The Easter season is a powerful reminder that darkness doesn’t have the final word—hope rises, grace abounds, and new life is possible for everyone. It’s a time to reflect on the greatest act of love and to celebrate the victory that brings renewal and fresh starts.
Let’s share the hope, joy, and true meaning of Easter with those who may need it most. A simple invitation could open the door to encouragement, restoration, and a life-changing message. Reach out, extend a warm welcome, and help someone experience Easter in a meaningful way this year.
