Easter: April 21st
This year we will be celebrating Easter at our normal service times, 9:00am and 11:00am on April 21st. This Sunday, we will be handing our invitation cards in stacks of 20. We want to challenge each of you take a stack and hand out each card to someone who may not know Jesus. We want to have a packed house this Easter! Please save the date, be in prayer, and plan on joining us for our Easter sermon series, “Alive” starting April 7th.
Grad Sunday: April 28th
Grad Sunday is right around the corner, on April 28th. We will be celebrating each of our graduating seniors during each of our services that day. Afterwards, please stop by the 3rd floor to congratulate them, leave a note of encouragement or a gift, and celebrate their success with them. If you have a student graduating this year, you will receive a letter from First City in the mail containing more details for your family. If you have any questions about Grad Sunday, please contact Savannah Cox at scox@firstcitychurch.org.

Baptisms
This year at our Easter service, we will be celebrating the resurrection with baptisms. Baptism declares to the world you’ve trusted Jesus, joined God’s family, and made a commitment to follow Jesus. It’s pretty special! If you have never been baptized after salvation, baptism is your first step! If you would like to be baptized this Easter use the button below to sign up now.
