Children are welcome to worship with their parents at any

(Kindergarten through 5th grade) are offered during the
worship services.
 Check In: Nursery – pre-school age children need to be
checked in at the Connections Center before taking them
to their designated class.

Communion and Offering
We invite you to share in the “Lord’s Supper” if you are a
follower of Jesus Christ.
Before and after taking
communion, we encourage you to spend some time in
personal prayer and meditation.
Our time of offering is an opportunity for our members
and regular attendees to give back to God a portion of that
with which they have been blessed. If you are a guest with
us today, please do not feel obligated to give.

“The Reality of the Resurrection”
John 20:26-29
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas
was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood
among them and said, “Peace be with you!”
Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands.
Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have
believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Secret Church 2015 - “Christ, Culture, and a Call to Action”
Friday, April 24 * 5:30 pm – 12:10 am
Woodland Hills Church of Christ, 2484 SE 68th Street, Pleasant Hill
The culture around us is constantly changing. How do Christians live in a world
rampant with behavior contrary to God’s Word? During Secret Church, we will
explore biblical answers to challenging cultural questions and come to
significant conclusions regarding how Christ calls EVERY Christian to engage our
culture with a firm grip on the gospel in the church and a fervent passion for God’s
glory in the world.
Talk to Pastor Kirk if you wish to participate in Secret Church 2015.
