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!
PALM SUNDAY -March 28th Worship at 9AM and 1O:30AM
MAUNDY THURSDAY - April 1st 7:00PM (Communion)

EASTER - April 4th
7AM Worship at the Gazebo

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
