Before we sing our next song, which will be 238 if you want to get that ready in your songbooks, Christ, Liveth and Me 238. If you did not get a bulletin, go ahead and raise your hands. One of the ushers can get one for you. Some important information on there. Of course, we welcome you to come back tonight for our Sunday evening service at 5 p.m. and then we have our Thursday night Bible study at 7 o'clock. We are currently going through the book of Isaiah and we will be in chapter 4 this coming week, so hope to see you then. We are a family-integrated church and so infants and children stay with their parents in the service, but for your convenience there is a mother-baby room located in the back of the building should your child need some diversion. Changing tables are available there as well, as well as speakers and screens so you can still tune in to the preaching. And then you see the soul winning times and teams there in the middle. If you are interested in learning how to preach the gospel, how to go soul winning, you can see me after the service to be placed on a team. You see the list of expecting mothers. Please continue to pray for them and congratulations to brother David and Lily on the birth of their daughter. I don't have all the stats with me, but maybe we can get that tonight. So congratulations to them. Let's give them a round of applause. I'm sure they are watching live right now. Pray for her continued recovery. We have the stats for salvation and baptisms there for the month of February. On the right hand side is the upcoming church events. This coming Saturday, April 5th is the Ladies Prayer Breakfast. That will be here at the building at 10 a.m. Ms. Janelle Gonzalez heads that up and so if you have any questions about that, you can see her for more details. And then the big thing we got coming up is our Easter service and that will be on Sunday, April 20th. If you have some visitors, family, friends that you're bringing to church on that day, make sure you come at 945 for the breakfast and then just remind them about the Easter egg hunt that we're going to have for all the kiddos after the morning service. And so Lord, we're going to see a lot of salvations that day as well as baptisms and also we hope to break record attendance and so that's exciting. We're looking forward to celebrating the resurrection of Christ. And then we have the TJ missions trip coming up on Saturday, April 26th. The team went out there yesterday and they got 15 salvations for about a total of two hours for soul winners and so very fruitful day there. Meeting at the building at 915 if you're interested in going. Just make sure you see brother Ulysses Hernandez. And then lastly we have the Science Meetup on Sunday, April 27th and that will be after the evening service. Parents bring your kiddos to that so they can participate and we'll give you more details on that as we approach that date. Lastly, please make sure you silence your phones during the preaching so as to not be a distraction during the service. And that is it for our announcements. Let's go ahead and sing our next song, 238 Christ Liveth in Me. Song number 238 all together nice and strong in that first verse. Once far from God and dead in sin, no light my heart could see but in God's word the light I found now Christ liveth in me Christ liveth in me Christ liveth in me Oh what a salvation is that Christ liveth in me as rays of light from yonder sun the flowers of earth set free so life and light and love came forth from Christ living in me Christ liveth in me Christ liveth in me Oh what a salvation is that Christ liveth in me as lives the flower within the seed as in the comb the tree so praise the God of truth and grace as He dwells in me Christ liveth in me Christ liveth in me Oh what a salvation is that Christ liveth in me with longing all my heart is thrilled that like Him I may be as on the wondrous thought I dwell that Christ liveth in me Christ liveth in me Christ liveth in me Oh what a salvation is that Christ liveth in me Amen.
