For many churches Easter Sunday/Resurrection Sunday is the largest attended service of the year. And for good reason…it is celebrating and remembering the greatest event in history. It makes sense to do everything you can possibly do to be present in worship on Resurrection Sunday. I look forward to hearing the beautiful echo “He is risen!” and “He is risen indeed!”. It is a once in history event that breaks the power of sin, defeats the grave, and removes the sting of death! He is risen…He is risen indeed.
Try to join us this Resurrection Sunday. Invite your family to come and sit with you. Invite them to worship and to a meal afterwards. The invitation to join you for this years Easter Worship Service will probably be enough. If you add a meal into the invitation, it is almost a sure bet they will join you. I will be sharing a clear and basic message of salvation.FLOWERING OF THE CROSS
For years now, we have been carrying on a lovely tradition called “Flowering the Cross” . We invite everyone to bring some flowers to put on a specially designed cross. You can bring flowers from your own yard or in my case, from a neighbor’s yard…with their permission of course! We also pick up a small bouquet from Costco or our local grocery store! It creates a lovely picture symbolizing what Jesus did: he died on the old rugged cross and by His death and resurrection, made the cross a part of the Greatest Story Ever Told. Don’t forget it makes a beautiful backdrop for pictures! By the way, if you get this Messenger before Saturday, Todd Holseberg will be putting out pine straw around the church to spruce the campus up a bit! He would love to have some help! He will start at 8:00 AM.
See you this Resurrection Sunday, good Lord willing!
Pastor Tom
