Wishing all a happy Easter Day…
Today’s celebration was wonderful, with attendances at the two services of 85 and 130. We don’t often see those kinds of numbers. Many guests and visitors also came to hear the blessed Easter proclamation of a risen Lord and Living Savior. While some may remember this year for a long time because of the good-natured jabs Vicar and I exchanged regarding our ages (He called me venerable, and I told him one day he would “grow up) really the important and amazing thing is that we both preached clearly that Jesus did truly rise from the dead, defeating our enemies and saving all who believe in him. The choir sang a spiritual selection, “The Angel Rolled the Stone Away,” which I thought was a great addition to our service. I wish everyone could have been here for it.
For some who could not come, our shut-ins and the ill, about 4 members took lilies to brighten their Easter. I thank them for this act of service.
