Books for Easter and Lent are in the Library!

Posted on Mar 25, 2017 by Katherine West in Library, News |

Our books for Easter and Lent are now available for checking out. Each week before Easter some specific books will be highlighted on our display tables. We have books for both adults and for children.

Several of our children’s books help children learn the difference between a popular culture message of Easter (the Easter bunny, etc.) and the real meaning of Easter, which is Jesus’ death and resurrection for our sins. We also have free Easter coloring pages that kids can color at the library or take home to color later.

One highlight of our adult Easter books is Jesus’ Seven Words, Our One Word by Pastor Martin Ives.

Make sure to stop by the library before or after the service to pick up some books! If you have any questions or want to locate a specific book you can also email us!
