Easter PotLuck

March 31, 2024 • 12:00pm |Hangar 316

It's a day to celebrate and we are taking it outside to Hangar 316 for our Easter Potluck. Plan on staying with us following service for an afternoon of great food, fellowship, and fun for the kids. We have some great cooks, so join us as we chow down together on some fine "vittles." Make it a lazy day sitting around visiting, maybe having that extra piece of dessert.  

Guys, let's show our guests a great day. Dust off those recipes and let's overflow the tables with your best dish. Head over to Mealtrain to let us know what you can bring. 

The Gift of Easter

March 31, 2024 • 10:00am |Worship Center

This Easter sermon, The Gift of Easter, is anchored in Paul’s words about the wages of sin and helps us understand how Christ’s life, death, and resurrection have provided the incomprehensible gift that he purchased and prepared for us.

Our salvation is an unmerited gift from God, doing away with the eternal death we were due because of sin.

Plantation Park Easter - Egg Stuffing Party

March 25, 2024 • 6:00pm |Open Road Fellowship Church

Easter is coming, which means it is time to hang out with the kids. Open Road Fellowship has adopted all of the Kindergarten classes at Plantation Park Elementary as part of our commitment to connecting with our community. Each year we get the opportunity to head over to Plantation Park and hang out with the kindergarteners and have 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!

We need to stuff some eggs (lots and lots of eggs) - so we need candy. We are collecting individually wrapped candy to stuff into the eggs (lots and lots of eggs). We have started our collection drive which will run through Sunday, March 24th. Bring your candy to the church, or you can also deliver it to On The Road Coffee Co. (next to Pepe's).

Then, we will get together (date to be determined) and pack the eggs (lots and lots of eggs), maybe eat a piece of candy or two, and take a moment to pray over the kids we eventually will deliver them to. Let's bring some joy to some child during this Easter season.

HERE'S THE PLAN

  • Candy Collection:  March 10th - March 24th
  • Candy Drop-off:   Open Road Fellowship Church or On The Road Coffee Co.
  • Egg Stuffing Party:  Monday, March 25th @ 6:00 pm
  • Easter Egg Hunt With the Kids: Thursday, March 28th @ 1:00 pm

Mourn Again

March 24, 2024 • 10:00am |Worship Center

This series, Mourn Again, invites us into the Lenten season, a time of repentance and mourning over our sin. In mourning for our sin, we are reminded what it was like to come to Christ for the very first time. This Lent, we will remember what it means to encounter Christ with afresh, taking nothing for granted—neither our wrongdoings nor our salvation. We come face to face once more with our ungodly behavior, open our hearts to remorse, and receive forgiveness and our hope in Jesus, who is the Christ.

Who is this Jesus? Surely, many of the people in the city of Jerusalem might have been asking themselves this question as they see others gathering palm fronds and throwing them before this man, riding into town on donkey and her colt. Let us take nothing for granted in answering this question. Let us be those among the celebrants of Jesus’s triumphal entry and those who were in the desert to listen to John the Baptist as the Messiah approaches.

The death of Jesus showed us the love of God is not mere sentiment but robust action—action that revealed once and for all who he is. Today, we reflect on what Jesus’s death brought into our lives.
