Emory United Methodist Church will be having the following Easter services: This year on April 6, the Maudy Thursday service will be held at 7 p.m. at Fairfield United Methodist Church. On Good Friday, April 7, a service will be held at Emory at 7 p.m. On Saturday, April 8, Emory will host an Easter egg hunt from 2 to 4 p.m. with hot dogs and chips. Easter Sunday April 9, Sonrise service is at 8 a.m., with breakfast afterwards and worship service at 9 a.m. This year, Haines Chapel will also have a sunrise service at 6:30 a.m.

I ask that you please keep me in prayer as I leave Texas on Monday, April 3. I will arrive in Jacksonville, Fla., today, Wednesday, April 5, to visit with my cousin, Mary Fitzgerald Eastman. Then I will travel to Charleston, S.C., to meet a friend from school and her daughter and grandson. On Thursday, April 6, we are going to see the Angel Oak Tree. I have been wanting to do this since I first heard of it plus seeing pictures on Facebook that a friend posted. Friday, April 7, I will travel home.

I pray each of you will remember the true reason we celebrate Easter.
