A Question for Easter

What was your favorite part of Holy Week and Easter this year? Where did the message of Jesus' death and resurrection speak to you most helpfully?

I really don't intend this to be an 'rhetorical question. I invite you to take a moment to post a comment. As we share we all grow and are encouraged in our faith.

My most moving moment was the beginning of the 8:30 a.m. service when we all proclaimed so boldly "Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed!! Alleluia!!" Our proclamation stood in such wonderful contrast to those who wanted to declare "God is dead" and dampen our Easter faith and enthusiasm. The tomb couldn't hold Jesus. The tomb wouldn't hold back our Easter faith.

  1. By the way, standing at the altar on Good Friday with the sun streaming through the face of Jesus and then seeing so many come to witness the wonder of this vision with me was pretty hard to beat!!
