For Our Saturday Night Readers
He is risen! He is risen indeed!
Be ready to shout that greeting tomorrow, as we gather to celebrate our Savior's resurrection. I suppose it might help you prepare to review the account of Christ's death and burial in any of the gospels. I'd encourage you to think about the simple fact that people live and people die. That is the way it is, and we all know it. But, were someone you loved to die, be buried, and then walk out of the grave very much alive - now that is something!
Tomorrow morning we will be led in celebration thru song by Mike and the team. I can tell you there are a few surprises in the works. The music won't be a surprise, however. What would Easter be without 'Christ The Lord Is Risen Today' and what would Easter at Christ's Church be without 'My Redeemer Lives'? Toss in the brand new Chris Tomlin song we learned last week 'Glorious' and a few more favorites - we will indeed celebrate!
Our study in the Scriptures will have us consider passages in 1 Corinthians 15. If you want an advance look, the whole chapter would be good prep, however, we will concentrate mostly on the first 20 verses or so together in the morning.
A group of us watched The Passion of the Christ last night. I'm struck by those final scenes in which Jesus breathed His last. But it doesn't end there.
Remember, just one service at 11AM tomorrow. And don't forget to come early, between 9AM and 10AM to have breakfast together. The Board of Elders will have been hard at work all morning to serve you a fine Easter breakfast! I look forward to celebrating His resurrection with you in the morning!

I just want to say that I really appreciate the Saturday night entry. It helps me focus on the sermon thoughts better if I have read the scripture ahead of time and have already begun to think about them when the sermon begins. Thanks.
