3^rd Sunday of Easter

April 6, 2008

TODAY is a new day, rising fresh from the Creator’s Hand. Today we begin again, with praise and thanks to God who made us, to Christ who redeemed us, and to the Spirit who supports and guides us. Here we participate in the Fellowship of the Forgiven, the Church. Here we gather strength and wisdom for the days before us. It is good to be together today. If you are visiting please sign the guest register in the back of our Sanctuary. We look forward to worshipping with you again next week.

Angie and Colonel Combs place flowers on the altar to the glory of God, and in memory of Angie’s Mom.

Happy Birthday to: Cheryl Houck (Sat.)

I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly my Lord was speaking: “My name is I AM.” He paused. I waited. He continued. “When you live in the past with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I Was. When you live in the future, with its problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I Will Be. When you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here. My name is I AM.”

An old rabbinic teaching says that the one who prays within the home surrounds it with a wall that is stronger than iron. – William Barkley

After Thorwaldsen had completed his famous statue of Christ, he brought a friend to see it. Christ’s arms were outstretched, his head bowed between them. The friend said, “But I cannot see his face.” The sculptor replied, “If you want to see the face of Christ, you must get on your knees.”
