From the Pastor’s Study

Holy Week and Easter are filled with such deep meaning for Christians.  In some traditions it is still called “The GREAT WEEK” because in it Jesus Christ shares His last days on earth still healing, teaching about the love of a heavenly Father, the high personal cost of being faithful to God and yet also the incredibly glorious rebirth proving God’s ultimate victory over evil and death.

With appreciation I mention the fine music that has helped lift our worship with Louise Thomas on the organ and piano, Leslie Hanson and the Handbell ringers, Bill Lord and the Guitar Ensemble members, Yolanda and the Children’s Chorus and the adult choir and soloists.  All have added to the richness of our worship and praise this special season.

In the “afterglow” of Easter, those of us who have shared the sorrow also share the boundless joy that knows no end for Christ is not buried secure in a stone tomb but is released, resurrected into endless freedom to be with us all the time, everywhere as a spiritual part of our lives in all ways.

May is a month of new beginnings of springtime around us and within us. As a church family, we share these moments with one another as new life continues to explode in the trees and flowers and almost daily changes in weather.

May you find excitement as you discover new ways that God’s creative love is being expressed so that its amazing beauty expands your thinking and enlivens your living.

Check out the many opportunities to come to church to learn, share, meditate and praise God with one another this month included in this May issue of the Messiah Messenger.
