The Easter Resurrection Births a New Church

We are now in the season of Easter until the Day of Pentecost.  During these upcoming weeks we’ll hear stories of Jesus appearing to His disciples, assuring them of His Resurrection, comforting them from their distress, chastising them for their disbelief, warning them of the dangers ahead, praying for His disciples, giving them hope with the promise of the Holy Spirit, and then ascending to Heaven before their eyes.

On June 12, we’ll celebrate Pentecost as Jesus delivers to us His Holy Spirit, but in between we’ll walk with our risen Lord as He lives among us.

Imagine the joy!  All of creation wanted to cry out when Jesus conquered death and rose victorious on Easter Sunday.  With Jesus’ Resurrection there is a New Creation….the Church…God’s Holy People, made of flesh and bone but born again as REDEEMED Children of God.

The Church is made new in the Resurrection of Christ!

Christ is risen, Alleluia!

Join us for worship on Sundays at 8:30 and 10:45 am
