Monday’s thoughts
Easter Sunday is the most important Sunday in the life of the church. We have added services and rearranged our schedule to give us the time and momentuum to carry through the theme of Easter.
The schuedule for Easter Sunday:
6am SunRise Contemporary Service Theme “Easter is for Early Risers” Our Praise Band, Fish, will be leading us in a service that will be interactive and lively. We are hoping to start having Alternative Worship services at 12:30 one Sunday a month beginning in May. This service will be an example of that kind of worship.
8am In the Sanctuary. Theme “For Crying Out Loud” What does Easter mean to us and what emotions does it evoke. They were there tears on Easter when they realized Christ had Risen?
9:30 and 11 am Theme; “For Crying Out Loud”
I have enjoyed listening to the other preachers on our staff but I am looking forward to preaching all of the Easter sermons this year. This is the first time I’ve been able to do that and I appreciate the opportunity.
What does Easter mean to us and why is it so important? What happened to Jessu after the crucifixion and how does that inform our faith today? If Easter is central to our faith does that mean we have to believe it, all of us, the same way? What are the various interpretations of resurrection? How can we best prepare ourselves for Easter?
