Easter Sunday
Since this edition of the Messenger is sent out on Friday – Good Friday – it is a little awkward to write in terms of the excitement of Easter morning. But it is the edition for the week of Easter and it just has to be shared: ‘He is Risen!’ There will be both an 8:30am and 11:00am service on Easter morning, April 4th. The services will be streamed and available through the church website (messiahlutheranholt.org) or directly from YouTube (youtube.com – search Messiah Lutheran Holt). As our Lenten series has taught us, it is time to ‘Return to the Lord’ for He is gracious and merciful. If you haven’t registered to attend a service on Easter morning and plan on attending, please call the church office now – assuming you are reading this on Friday. On the other hand, if you are not able to contact the office to register, please don’t let that stop you from attending on Sunday morning. He is Risen! 
BIG NEWS from Messiah's Sunday School Team!
Sunday school for 3 year olds to 5th graders returns to in-person classes April 11th at 10:45 a.m. Videos and zoom have been fun, but we are looking forward to meeting together again very soon. Of course, we'll observe COVID protocols and wear our masks, wash our hands and stay safe distances from each other. But we'll be able to dance and sing with Miss Krista and interact with friends and teachers as we learn more about God and His love for us. We'll be contacting Sunday school families with more details. For now, save the date and plan to join us April 11 at 10:45 a.m. Note: For those families who opt to continue hearing the weekly lesson on-line, lessons will be posted thru May 23, 2021.

Youth Group Birthday Bags for the Holt Community Food Bank
The Youth Group delivered several "birthday bags" to the Holt Community Food bank at the end of 2020. Thank you to the Messiah members who generously provided donations. The youth will continue this ministry during the Spring of 2021. If you would like to donate to this project, please drop off any of the listed items in the laundry basket in the narthex. Please contact Erin House if you have any questions. Donations Requested: gift bags (the size that are just big enough to hold cake mix and frosting), birthday candles, and frosting. 
A reminder for folks attending in person:
Thank you!
