Whidbey Island Prayer Day activities set
“Where’s Bear Wells?” my husband hollered as he hopped out of his truck. “If we don’t watch him, he’s gonna end up eagle food!”
Tomorrow is Easter Sunday and I feel the anticipation in my heart growing. This is because I love everything about Easter, especially the hope, the music and the celebration surrounding the message that there is life beyond what we know here.
And yet, there is one last task that needs to be done before I can break loose in joy and celebration. Author Josh McDowell calls it “evidence that demands a verdict” and he is referring, of course, to the evidence that Jesus actually died and rose three days later.

Whidbey General Hospital offers a student intern program to provide opportunities for youths in the community to learn about clinical health care careers and gain experience in those fields. These positions are eight weeks in duration from June 20 to Aug. 13.
The Sunday morning bell is calling the community to worship once again at the Little Brown Church landmark building on Maxwelton Road in Clinton. In March, the Little Brown Church began hosting the new Whidbey Bible Fellowship, and will continue to do so every Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m.
The gray whales have returned to the waters around Whidbey and Camano islands, and islanders can get a chance at a close-up view during a whale-watching cruise later this month.
The trip is a fundraiser for the WSU-Island County Beach Watchers program, and will be the only one of its kind to leave from Whidbey during the gray whale season. The cruise through Saratoga Passage leaves from the Langley marina at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, April 16.
Greenbank Garden Club’s spring plant sale is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 16.
The event will be in the Greenbank Farm barn, 765 Wonn Rd. This sale is very popular as there are hundreds of plants, shrubs and bulbs donated by the many members of the club and some commercial nurseries as well. This is a major fundraising project for the club, which was founded in 1947. Due to many collective years of gardening experience, the sale is well-organized and the vast collection of plants is labeled clearly.
