Things to do on Easter


So in a moment of semi-boredom I decided to type "things to do on Easter" into Google. The majority of links had to do with crafts and the like. The one that stood out to me was this one from the Telegraph in the UK. They list 101 things to do over the holiday weekend. Funny thing, the only thing I saw closely related to God was that the movie "Amazing Grace" is playing. Art shows, concerts, plays, and the like. You can even catch a performance by the Official Muslim Comedy Tour entitled, "Allah Made Me Funny". Ladies and Gents, the world is passing along it's merry way and does not often any more stop to make even the token notice of God and what He did for us. The art show and Bob Dylan will still be here on Monday (well, Bob is getting old). What are you going to let distract you from the 2 church services that we have this week ? Friday (7PM) is a chance to reflect on the cross. The horror, loss, and grief. But with the caveat that we know the Celebration Sunday (10:15AM) is coming. Ressurection, life, power, eternal life and victory over the enemy. I'm getting excited just typing it. Make your plans and get your friends, family, neighbors, or just the lady you see in the checkout lane to the services this weekend. It IS that important!!

Very nice blog Paul. Too bad I didn't know about it earlier. We should promote it @ church.

It is now on the front of the bulletin weekly as well as part of pre-service announcement slides. I'm hoping to get others involved in posting what's happening at CRMC
