Easter Sunday
April 8, 2023
As Easter is this Sunday morning, we look back through the story we’ve explored throughout Lent, from the wilderness to the mountain top, from the well at high noon to Jerusalem. Soon we arrive on Easter Sunday to find but an empty tomb! At first look, one could be disappointed. But if we really take a good look, we will find everything they need to live each day to the fullest.
Join us on Easter Sunday as we consider what resurrection mean in today's world. We consider the question, "how can we learn from the empty spaces in our lives?" Join us Sunday for “What is in there?”
