Blood Drive on Sunday, April 12
We're hosting a blood drive right here at Skycrest next Sunday, April 12, from 10-12:30pm. Giving blood is one of the most meaningful ways we can serve and love our neighbors, and we'd love for you to participate! All donors will receive a wellness checkup and some goodies as a thank-you for giving. Appointments are encouraged but not required. To schedule your appointment, visit oneblood.org/donate-now and use sponsor code 27372. Every donation makes a difference. We hope to see you there!
Camp Week, Registration
Skycrest will be sending our students to the Warren Willis Camp this summer on week 1, which is June 15-20, 2026. Those interested in sending your student(s), rising 4th grade through graduating seniors, need to head over to https://wwumccc.org/cost/, and follow the link that says "Register." They also have tuition scholarships available (they call "camperships"). Campership applications received after April 1 will be considered if funds are available. If you would like to go but are still unable to produce funding, let me know, and we’ll make sure that your child can attend. This is such a special experience in the lives of our students, and I hope yours will be able to join us! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Please check the Calendar (under the Resources tab) for all upcoming events. Contact the office if you have questions or would like additional information. office@skycrest.net or (727) 446-2218.
Scripture
“28 Early on Sunday morning,[a] as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.
2 Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. 3 His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4 The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.
5 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. 7 And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.”
8 The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel’s message. 9 And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.””
