Second Sunday of Easter

Did you know that, like Christmas, Easter is not just a single day, but a liturgical season? Christian traditions and communities that follow a liturgical calendar observe Eastertide for seven weeks, from Easter Sunday until Pentecost. It is a season of joyful celebration, of remembering the Resurrection and the disciples' experiences of the living Christ among them, with white or gold as the traditional liturgical color.

This Sunday we have a guest preacher, Rev. Carla Ficke, who will bring us a message on "Leap of Faith." If you would like to read the scriptures in preparation for worship, check out John 20:19-31 and Psalm 133. Our seasonal chime choir will play special music. Pastor Betty returns next week.
