Just a short note! I have not had time to prepare for April with Holy Week
coming when it did, at the end of the month. Looking back at last year’s April
newsletter, I observed that Holy Week was yet to come with Easter falling on April
9th . We’re ahead of the game as far as Spring activities are concerned.
In keeping with my earlier evangelism theme, we begin a sermon series called
“Loved and Sent”. We will look at what God did for us through Jesus’ death and
resurrection, and how we should tell that Good News to everyone we meet! Join us as
learn together how we can do just that with the power of the Holy Spirit instilled in
us.
Lives tend to get busy in the Spring. Where once we looked forward to school
winding down, vacation plans, baseball, and cookouts now we just increase our
activities. Now we stuff our leisure time with as many things as we can, not taking
time to rest. Our God expects us to treat our bodies as temples. Rest and relaxation
are part of that temple maintenance. As we near warmer weather, and you plan your
spring and summer calendars, schedule you rest and relaxation, too. Not travel
time….not drive time….but down time. Take that time to meditate, pray, and rest!
Have a glorious and wonderful April! He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
