Food Distribution
There will be a food distribution of the Lutheran Hunger Network’s FREE Neighborhood Market on Saturday, 4/11 at Our Saviour's Lutheran, 2101 N. Fruit Ave. You can come for any or all and don't need to have signed up. All are welcome to help. Central CA Food Bank will provide gloves, but volunteers need to bring their own masks if desired and wear close toed shoes. As in the past, anyone planning to volunteer on Saturday who is or has been feeling ill - especially if they have or have had a fever, cough or flu-like symptoms - is asked to PLEASE stay home. Volunteers will be encouraged to drive through and get food for their own household, too, just like usual. Please share this information with anyone you know who could benefit and with those who might want to volunteer. Questions can be directed to Julie @ 13jdixon13@gmail.com or 559-287-3457. Thank you for your ongoing support of this ministry.

A Note From Pastor Ted Niemi
Dear Friends,
This month we celebrate the holiest of holy days, Easter. If you have struggled lately with, well, just about anything Easter has a great message for you.
The message of Easter is a message of hope. There is new life beyond Good Friday. Crucifixions are not the last word. On the first Easter God did something so significant. God took the worst that the world could do to Him … and God turned it into the best that He could do for the world. The world killed Jesus, but through his death, Jesus gave life eternal.
You see, the one thing that filled those first witnesses of the resurrection with such joy on that 1st Easter was the realization that they could now face anything life could bring to them and not be defeated.
Those 1st disciples had a new hope for the future which meant they had new power for the present. Oh, sure, there was still going to be all kinds of hardships and disappointments and tragedies ahead of them but now they had a new way of facing them; a new way of looking at them. Jesus’ resurrection from the dead let them know they would never be defeated!
This Easter I challenge you to take this step: to be more hopeful. To start noticing the new life all around you. Think of how God can have the Easter miracle of hope touch some area of your life. Be a sign of hope to others in the world. Most of all, be brave enough to live life in the joy of Easter!
I look forward to celebrating Easter with you!
God’s Peace,
Pastor Ted
