Easter

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

What a wonderful time of the year! At this time of the year I always remember a story about the late Rev. W. E. Sangster, a well-known British Methodist. He was born in 1900 and died in 1960. Over the last two years of his life he suffered from progressive muscular atrophy. He awoke on Easter Sunday morning unable to walk or speak. In those days they didn’t have texting or emails, etc. He wrote a letter to his daughter to this effect: “It is terrible to wake up on Easter morning and have no voice with which to shout, ‘He is risen!’ — but it would be still more terrible to have a voice and not want to shout.”

We will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ at 10:50 AM on Easter Sunday, April 24, at our church. Join us!

Resurrection

Monday, April 5th, 2010

What a great celebration of the resurrection we had on Easter Sunday! The crowd was outstanding, and a number of people came to Christ as Savior! And that is what Easter is all about.

The Bible teaches the bodily, physical resurrection of Christ from the tomb. The angel’s words are immortal, “He is not here! He is risen!” How true are the words of the song, “We serve a risen Savior!”

Peter tells us that the resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us the new birth, a living hope, eternal life, and salvation now and forever! (I Peter 1:3-5)

We never grow weary of celebrating the resurrection!

Special Time of the Year

Friday, March 26th, 2010

This is a special time of the year as we focus on Calvary and the events leading up to Easter Sunday.

Our choir cantata last Sunday night got us off to a great start for this season.

This Sunday we will be looking at what the Scripture has to say about Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday.

We have a special program this week — with Jews for Jesus missionary Robyn Wilk presenting “Christ in the Passover” on Wednesday, March 31, at 6:30 PM, and then I will speak on “The 3 Gardens” at a special Good Friday service at 12:00 noon this coming Friday, April 2.

And of course, April 4, we will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave with our Easter Sunday morning service at 10:50 AM.

I hop you can join us for this special time of the year!
