Greetings – The journey through Lent continues. Last night in worship we remembered the new commandment Jesus gives to love one another as Jesus has loved us; tonight in worship [7:00pm in the sanctuary…JOIN US!] we remember the pain that leads to His crucifixion...all of which leads up to the joy and liberation of the empty tomb.
A Reminder that Our Easter morning schedule for Sunday, April 20th is:
*Note that childcare is available for all worship services & all services are available online: https://fpcl.online.church
Praying that the reality of God's love for you in Jesus is evident and experienced by you in tangible ways as we continue this journey to Easter.
Grace & Peace, Steve
YOU ARE INVITED on Easter to bring flowers and place them in the cross that is currently located in the lawn of the church property at the corner of 4th & L Streets. This is a tradition of our church that adds beauty and color to our celebration of the resurrection [There will also be flowers in a bucket at the foot of the cross for those wanting to participate] Many have asked about the origin of this tradition…so here is an article that provides some background/context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowering_the_cross
Easter worship information: Easter Message: He’s Alive!
Scripture: John 20:1-10 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.’ Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went towards the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to their homes.
