Thoughts from Pastor Linda

     As I write, the snow is flying outside my window, at least 7" is on the ground, our snowplow guy is scraping down the parking lot and I am here INSIDE with thoughts of Easter buzzing through my head. Winter got off to a slow start for us, so who knows when spring might really consider arriving. But in the meantime, we shall think Easter and spring thoughts.
    No matter the weather, Easter will come (on April 4th) and the celebration of our risen Lord will be a thing of joy whether we are wearing Easter bonnets or earmuffs. Why, because the death and resurrection of Jesus is THE defining event in the New Testament. It is THE event that most significantly changed the course of human history. As a result of what God accomplished during those three days in Jerusalem, all of humanity has been given eternal hope. Now that is really something to celebrate!

Whatever timing works for you, we shall hope to see you on the highest and holiest day of
celebration in the Christian year. The watchword for the day as we gather on Easter will be:
"He is Risen; He is Risen Indeed."
With love and in the peace of Christ,
Pastor Linda
