Easter

We have started our preparation for our Easter service on Sunday, March 27 at Central. Easter has always been very meaningful for me. As a kid mom filled our Easter baskets with candy and I was allowed to eat chocolate before church and after church. We all dressed usually in new clothes and went to church and saw people visiting that we hadn't seen in many months.

That's where it becomes a special day. We have many visitors on that Sunday. For that one moment we have the opportunity to tell the story of Jesus. If we are successful we might be able to invite them back for another service or even better an opportunity to attend one of our bible classes.

That's why worship preparation is so important. Not just that we want to Praise our Heavenly Father but we want to stir the hearts of those in worship.

I am excited for Easter. Our message and service will center around the theme, "Jesus Is My Lamb". We hope to show the video, "Watch the Lamb" by Ray Boltz. We will use the Hallal sound track. The video and song are very moving.

I encourage you to look forward to Easter. For a Christian, Easter is each first day of the week. A time to reflect on a Savior that lived, died and arose!
