Happy Easter all!! Our church is in our new building on 87th street (we had the dedication 2 weeks ago) It was wonderful to see what God is doing in such an obvious way.
Our choir is doing 3 special numbers tommorrow. We usually have a musical also (last year hubby played Satan, something he is still trying to live down :) But this year w/ the move and not knowing when for sure we'd be in we just couldn't. But we certainly looking forward to worshiping together! Then a big lunch with the family at my mom's. Should be great!
It is also my spiritual birthday!!
Happy Easter everyone!
PS If anyone would like to join us our services are at 8:30 and 11:00 no Sunday School tommorrow due to parking. We're near 87th and Lackman in Lenexa.

>>Our church is doing a cantata during the morning

>>I am innocent of this man's blood, it is your

>>The cantata is David Clydesdale's "How Great Thou

>>What does Easter mean to you personally?
>>
>>Did Jesus really rise from the dead?
>>
>>That's the real question confronting each of us this
>>Easter. For if Christ was not raised, then even the
>>Bible says our faith is in vain. But if He was raised
>>from the dead, then Easter represents the most
>>momentous day in the history of the world when the
>>Lord of Glory stepped forth out of the tomb and death
>>was conquered by life.
>>
>>The fact is, none of the skeptics has ever been able
>>to put the slightest dent in the overwhelming evidence
>>for the
>>Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
>>
>>As you study the Christ of the Bible, I believe you
>>will become more convinced than ever that Jesus Christ
>>rose from the dead and He is alive today. What's more,
>>one day you will see Him, for the Scriptures says that
>>every eye shall see Him, and every knee shall bow
>>before Him.
>>
>>And on that day, if you have received the gift of
>>everlasting life, you will greet Him as your Redeemer,
>>Savior and Lord.
>>
>>Do you know Him? Have you received the gift of
>>everlasting life? That is the hope of Easter. That is
>>what Christ offers to every person today -- the gift
>>of everlasting life -- not earned, merited, deserved.
>>But simply by grace -- the unmerited, unearned, free,
>>favor of God, paid for in full at Calvary's Cross by
>>the divine Savior of the world.
>>
>>If you don't have that gift, I urge you to ask Him to
>>come into your life right now, to cleanse you and
>>forgive you, to give you everlasting, never-ending
>>life. That is the greatest thing in all the world, and
>>it can be yours this Easter.
>>
>>May God richly bless you,
>>
