April 9

Celebrate! That is what we did last Sunday. We celebrated Easter, the mystery of Jesus coming alive. It is the most joyous day of the year for Christians.  Our sanctuary is filled with beautiful spring flowers, we dress in our best clothes, and we sing our "hallelujahs" with great joy. What a wonderful day! How can we carry this joy with us throughout the following days? On Sunday morning in Children & Worship, we were talking about Jesus being alive with our four- and five-year-olds. We talked about Jesus living in our hearts. When Jesus lives in our hearts, he changes our heart. We experience our every day life differently.  Jesus helps us to view our joys and challenges in a new light.  He helps us learn to learn to trust God in all situations. You can invite Jesus in to your heart and continue to experience that joy.
