This Sabbath, the Kids' Creative Arts Ministry invites us to enter the story of Barabbas - a guilty man set free as Jesus took his place. It is a story of injustice, mercy, and unexpected freedom. We are not just observers of this story...we are INVITED into it. Because, in many ways, we are Barabbas - set free through a grace we did not earn. Jesus took the cross meant for us. So, the question becomes: what will we do with the freedom we've been given? 

This week’s Forks and Friendship will feature a special Easter brunch hosted by Linda Becker’s team. CVC members are invited to bring your favorite breakfast casseroles, egg dishes, muffins, sourdough and sweet breads, fresh fruit, baked oatmeal, and quiche dishes. If you are visiting CVC we encourage you to join as our guest!
