Week Four of the Covid-19 Exile

At the direction of the Governor of California, the County of Orange, City of Anaheim, and in light of the CDC's recommendation about avoiding groups and assemblies with the need for social distancing, all Lord's Day services and weekly classes are cancelled the next two Sundays (Palm Sunday, April 5, and Easter Sunday, April 12).

Easter Week, April 5-12, (Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday) we will focus upon Mark's gospel and his account of the climax of Jesus' messianic mission.

Palm Sunday, April 5: We will consider Jesus' kingly office in connection with his entrance into Jerusalem. (Texts: 2 Samuel 7:4–17; Mark 11:1–11)

Good Friday, April 10: We will consider Mark's account of Jesus' crucifixion and its meaning for us. (Texts: Mark 15:21-41; Psalm 22:1-31)

Easter Sunday, April 12: Dr. Riddlebarger will take up Mark's account of our Lord's resurrection in light of Isaiah's prophecy concerning the defeat of death (Texts: Mark 16:1-8, and Isaiah 25:1-12).

We are asking you to pray that the spread of the Covid-19 virus is contained by such measures as staying at home, social distancing, and the regular washing of hands. Pray for your fellow church members. Be sure to check-up on your neighbors who may be in need. More importantly, may Jesus Christ be glorified in all that we say and do during this unprecedented public health crisis.
