What’s Happening in April 2023

We’ve missed the chance to post a hilarious April Fools’ Day prank, but plans are already underway for something unbeatable for next year. (What would a church April Fools’ Day prank look like? Perhaps that is the exact question that should be shaping all of our theologies.) Onwards to what’s happening for real this month…

This is the photo that came up when I searched “prank.” That could be the church prank — everyone puts their shoes in the front foyer and then we get the Sunday School kids to throw them over the telephone wires…Photo by Kostiantyn Li on Unsplash

All events, as per usual, take place at Mount Carmel Bible College starting at 11am (unless they don’t):

  • Sunday, April 2: April 2 is Palm Sunday and, not at all coincidentally, Erin will be speaking all about Palm Sunday! Join us at 11am. There will be Sunday School available for kids Grade 6 and under.
  • Sunday, April 9: April 9 is the BIG DAY — Easter Sunday!! So important for Christians everywhere, and Peace is no different. In fact, it’s an awesome reminder that, even though the church is spread out across the world, the event we celebrate on Easter is something we hold in common.
  • Sunday, April 16: We’ll be going on a walk out in nature this week! Jay will be sending out an email about where to meet and the plans for afterwards — which I’m told may include hot dogs.
  • Sunday, April 23: We’re going to be trying something different on April 23. Instead of listening to a talk during the service, we’re sending out the talk ahead of time for people to listen to at their leisure prior the service. We’ll then plan to talk about it on the Sunday as a group. (This is like the “flipped classroom” teaching technique). It’s actually two talks by an American guy living in Australia named Shane Willard: How to Read the Bible Part 1 and How to Read the Bible Part 2. You can watch/listen to it anytime before April 23. More details on this in the weeks to come. (Don’t worry if you don’t have a chance to listen to the talk — you should still come! We’ll do a summary when we discuss.)
  • Sunday, April 30: Sabbatical Sunday this week and that means no church! That being said, stay tuned — someone might want to host a potluck or something!

If you’re interested in being on the email list for more details on what’s happening from week to week, send Jeff a note.What’s Happening in April
