COUNTDOWN TO EASTER SUNDAY
THE GARDENS OF
WHAT IS EASTER AT E-FREE CHURCH LIKE?
The Gardens of the Bible - Who doesn't love a beautiful garden, especially as we go into spring? On Easter Sunday we will be taking a guided tour through the four gardens mentioned in Scripture - the Garden of Eden; The Garden of Gethsemane; The Garden Tomb; and the Heavenly Garden. These gardens walk us through God salvation starting with sin entering the world in the Garden of Eden; Jesus starting His passion to pay the penalty for our sin in the Garden of Gethsemane; Jesus being raised victorious over sin and death in the Garden Tomb; and the Heavenly Garden that we will experience and enjoy for eternity in heaven if we have placed our faith and trust in Jesus.
- Pastor Scott
CELEBRATE GOOD FRIDAY
AT E-FREE CHURCH
You can’t get to the resurrection without passing by the cross. And that’s just what we will do at our Good Friday service. We are going to journey through the scriptures to really look at the sacrifice Jesus made for us. And I think it will make Easter Sunday’s celebration that much more special!

CELEBRATE PALM SUNDAY
AT E-FREE CHURCH
Nick: An Unlikely Disciple - One of the most interesting but often overlooked characters in the story of Jesus is Nicodemus. Due to his upbringing and his position among the jews, he would be considered the least likely to become a follower of Jesus. Yet, the first time we see him is when he comes to Jesus secretly to speak of how to get to heaven. The next time we see him, he is using his position and knowledge of the law to prevent an uprising against Jesus. The final time we see him is when he joins a man named Joseph in taking Jesus off the cross and burying him. In this Palm Sunday sermon we will follow the path that resulted in the conversion of an unlikely disciple.

YES! Whether you attend the Gaylord or the Sault Campus, we desire that each child have a life changing experience with God in a safe and fun environment. We have something for all ages from Nursery to 6th grade. For more information about this exciting program click here.
Each service lasts about 65 minutes with thought-provoking and engaging messages based on the Bible. High-energy worship music or the Classic Hymns (the Gaylord campus has a traditional service at 9:00am). Fun teaching for your kids and we can't forget great coffee and cookies!!!
That's a great question! It's very simple. When you walk through the doors here at E-Free you'll be greeted by our Hospitality Team. Just ask! They are here to help you get to where you are going. Another way is to stop by our Welcome Center in the Hub.
We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing. In the summertime, it's not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a shirt. Others prefer to still put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine too! We think you'll fit in no matter how you dress.
If you are visiting with us, we don't expect you to put money in the offering. If you consider E-Free your church home, we'd love for you to prayerfully consider giving to E-Free. You can give by check or cash during the service, or you can set-up an online giving account by clicking here.
