Happy Easter!
Dear Friends:
I’m back, and Happy Easter! Yes, I’ve returned from a wonderful medical mission project in Sierra Leone. In the process, I again made a lot of friends, of all ages. Sitting here with me is young Daniel. He’s cute as a button, and loves to be held. He loves to hear stories. He loves to have someone’s attention. He loves to know that someone cares ABOUT HIM.
Thinking about young Daniel, don’t we all love to know that someone cares about us, that we have someone’s attention? As Christians, we live with the knowledge that someone does care for us, even to give his life for us. That person is Jesus Christ, and for that we can be eternally grateful. But now he’s alive, and he says to us, what I stated in the first sentence. He says, “I’m back, and Happy Easter.”
As we prepare to celebrate Easter this Sunday, I invite you to come and celebrate the risen Christ with us. I invite you to come and give thanks for the one who cares about us, and that one who gives us His attention. I invite you to come and be nurtured by that one who says to all, “I’m back, and Happy Easter!”
Stop by. The coffee’s fresh. The light is on.
Your friend, Pastor Don
