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.
