By Shawn LoughlinThe Citizen Love inspires grievers to go to funerals, graveside Continued from page 3 empty. The women went in search of Jesus and they were told by an angel that Jesus had risen. Rev. Clark then told the children there were Easter eggs for them to find downstairs and they could fill the empty Easter eggs. The children assisted with the receiving of the offering, the singing of the offertory hymn and the offertory prayer. The children went downstairs for their time of fellowship. Rev. Clark’s message to the adults was, “You Are Special To Me”. Easter morning is a good time to figure out what the resurrection means to us. The scriptures tell us that Mary and the women went to the tomb where Jesus was buried with the death of Jesus laying heavy on their minds. They were angry at God for allowing an innocent person to be put to death. It is because of our love for someone who dies that we attend the funeral and the graveside service. The women went to the grave early in the morning and an angel told them that Jesus had risen from the dead. When we wake up in the morning it is like a mini resurrection. Imagine that when you wake up that you are rising from a tomb. The fear of death or failure are gone and you wake up as a new person. We should pray to be a better person on this new day. The women wondered how they were going to roll away the heavy stone. When we are faced with a problem we are better to face the problem together than alone. The angel at the tomb tries to explain to the women why Jesus isn’t there. Because we can’t explain certain things we close our minds and God can’t get in. Only in God will there be Peace. God wants us to know that we are special to Him the same as Jesus is. Resurrection means New Life and New Hope in Our Lives. The choir favoured the congregation with the singing of the anthem, “This Is My Story, This Is My Song.” The next hymn, “The Day of Resurrection” was sung as the children returned for communion with the congregation and was followed by the prayers of consecration and for the world and the singing of The Lord’s Prayer. Serving communion were the children who will join the church – Bryce and Brett Glousher, Tessa Bibok and Quinton Hakkers. The last hymn was “Thine is the Glory” followed by the commissioning and the benediction. Everyone was invited to share in birthday cake for Lenora Davidson’s 95th birthday.
