Well, the events of the Easter weekend have come and gone. For me, Easter is always a highlight in the events of a year. I always look forward to the Good Friday service and to the celebrations of Easter Sunday.
This year we were able to celebrate with a Pancake Breakfast, an Egg Hunt for kids, and by seeing 4 people obeying Jesus by being baptized. It was truly a highlight-reel kind of weekend. (See pictures below.)
We are now on "the other side" of Easter. In church calendars this time of year is known as "Eastertide". Eastertide starts on Easter Sunday and stretches to Pentecost, 50 days later. Eastertide is meant to be a time where the church focuses on the resurrection of Jesus. That is one of the things we'll do this Sunday, the second Sunday of Eastertide.
I'm going to be preaching from Luke 24:44 - 53, which helps us to learn about preaching the gospel, the power of the Spirit and the blessing(s) we have received as we do our best to be "Living in Easter Times".
I'd encourage you to take time to read Luke 24:44 - 53. In fact, I'd encourage you to read all of Luke chapter 24 as we prepare to continue our celebration of the resurrection of Jesus!
Join us this Sunday as we gather in-person and via Livestream to celebrate and worship Jesus. CLICK HERE or on the picture above to access the Livestream.
