A message from Pastor Kerry...
I don’t know if you’ve heard the news, but Jesus of Nazareth, teacher and healer, was killed by crucifixion, and a few days later his tomb was found empty, and there were numerous reportings of people who saw him alive again! He even appeared to a gathering of hundreds of people. This testimony is true, and we now claim that this Jesus is the Savior, the Messiah, the Christ, the very Son of God, and that there is life and hope and renewal and reconciliation and forgiveness in him.
It is remarkable and it is true, and the truth of the event still has power, 2,000 years after the fact.
Some people thrill about the coming of warmer and brighter days, birds and flowers and the re-greening of the earth, and it is right and good to thrill about these things. AND, these things don’t hold a candle to the joy of Jesus’ resurrection and its blessings. How good it is to remember and to re-experience the renewal of life that God gives.
And just like when you find a recipe or a book or a movie that you like, and you tell people about it, we tell people about the security and joy we have because of our Lord. Whatever stumbling blocks life may present, whatever diseases or disasters, we know that God gets the last word, and we belong to him.
It’s the season of Easter, and we say “Hallelujah” (praise ye the Lord) to our God. Hallelujah!
The smaller adult Sunday School class is beginning to meet at church again, at 9:00AM, on Sundays, in the rocking chairs in the nursery. We're reading and discussing Mitch Albom's (author of the five people you meet in heaven) book The Stranger in the Lifeboat. Part of a chapter is read out loud and then discussed each Sunday. We focus discussion on trying to get a better understanding of the Bible and how to be the best Christian we want to be in today's world. You're invited to join!
Plan on eating your Wednesday supper at church, starting April 27!
