On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!”
Luke 24:1-6

Interact Club Serves Seniors Once again, our Interact Club members along with other Woodlands Christian students assisted with the Interfaith of The Woodlands Serving Our Seniors program in March. Students assisted with beautifying yards and general cleaning for local area senior citizens. In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ Acts 20:35 Information submitted by Amy Rowe.
