Palm Sunday/Easter Celebration

Our Palm Sunday/Easter celebration fell on Both April Fools Day and a full moon. We are not superstitious but we also know that Satan works hardest in these Lenten days to try stop the great message of Christs victory over him. There were some who didn't stay due to disagreements or in other words, fights with others who were in attendance. God's word will prevail! The large cross again was a big part of the service. This time at the end of the service we all placed a silk flower on the cross and also each received a package of flower seeds. This was to illustrate that our burial is like planting a seed and our going to heaven will be our changing into a flower. A flower is a sign of life and when Christ rose from the grave He conquered death for us that we too shall live.

His promise is for all who believe, BECAUSE I LIVE, YE SHALL LIVE ALSO!

Have a Blessed Easter.

The wind was blowing hard on this Palm Sunday but the children all enjoyed a few trips around the church waving their palm branches just like the children waved them for Jesus when He rode into Jerusalem on that first Palm Sunday years ago.
