The Christian Education/Missions Committee served a wonderful meal to people at Exit 0. There were approximately 75 people who came through the line at Exit 0 and the committee boxed up 50 dinners to be delivered to people on the street. We are thankful for all who donated food, money, and time. We are so very grateful for The Honey Baked Ham store in New Albany for donating two hams. If you get a chance, drop by and thank them for their generosity:

Message from Exit 0:

Easter Sunday was a bustling day at Exit 0, filled with joy and community spirit. We welcomed 20 people for our church service, where we celebrated together in faith and fellowship. Our outreach truck, generously supported by Speed Memorial Church, prepared 50 meals to share with those in need. It was a blessing to witness the smiles as we served over 75 meals at the church, provided through the combined efforts of Exit 0 and New Chapel Church. This day was not only about food but also about coming together as a community.

As we served meals, the stories we heard were truly inspiring. Easter brings hope and renewal, and we were thrilled to see two individuals take significant steps in their lives by being accepted into a halfway house. This marks the beginning of their recovery journey from addiction. We have known these individuals by name and their stories for years, and seeing them embrace this chance for change fills our hearts with hope. When God touches lives, amazing transformations can happen, and we are grateful to witness their growth.

Our outreach work would not be possible without the ongoing support from our community. Your generosity allows us to serve those in need and make a difference in their lives. Each meal shared and each story celebrated is a testament to the power of support and love. We appreciate everyone who continues to stand with us in this mission. Together, we can help more individuals on their journey, spreading kindness and hope throughout our community. Thank you for being a vital part of our outreach efforts this Easter and every day.

In this 40-day devotional, we set out on a pilgrimage, the stories of Scripture in one hand and the wisdom of Madeleine L’Engle in the other. In A Circle of Quiet, the first volume of her Crosswicks Journals series, L’Engle reflects on her life, her family, her writing career (including the struggle and success of A Wrinkle in Time), and through it all, her evolving faith. Over the next seven weeks, we will do the same, as biblical passages and L’Engle’s insights illuminate each other, inviting us into our own practice of retelling the stories of our lives.

Key movements in the Christian symphony will frame the journey: life, suffering, and resurrection. Key themes in L’Engle’s work will lead the way: joy, love, and mystery. And as we go, each week includes simple, accessible practices you can try yourself, with your family or friends, or with your congregation.

All you’ll need is your favorite Bible and this devotional; passages from A Circle of Quiet are reprinted here by permission. Day by day, week by week, we’ll make our way into the heart of the Christian story, the heart of our life stories: the astonishing, gracious love of God, the Author – the Storyteller! – of heaven and earth.

Time:
10:00 – 11:30 AM
