Welcome To The Easter Season and the 2nd Quarter of 2018!

What an beautiful weekend! The Lenten Season ended on Holy Saturday. We're into the Easter Celebration. Enjoy! Happy April!

It's been a snowy Easter Sunday! I think we got about 3 inches of wet snow. It's cold, feeling like Winter time again. I will be below freezing over night.

It's been a wonderful Easter Sunday. I didn't think too much about April Fool's Day, today. For the past 18 years, the 1st Day of April has been different. It's not a day for joking nor to be fooled.

In Memory of my mother.

 On Saturday, April 1, 2000, my mother fell asleep and entered into heaven in the arms of Jesus. We'll reunite again when the time comes.  It's been 18 years since her departure on that Census Day in the U.S.A. ~ My mother was counted on that census. She has left us a legacy. Her spirit still lives in the hearts of those who remember her. She's missed and never forgotten.

A Thought of God's Creation
I've been enjoying God's creation more this year. I took my time today and enjoyed the snow. We have experienced a White Easter Sunday. Five years ago, we had a white Palm Sunday. Would be something if we would have a white Good Friday? All God's creation is beautiful.

Easter Gathering as the church

Message "The Eighth Day" by Pastor Brian Zahnd
( It was a good message and a good The Last Week Series. )

The Prayer for the week and The scripture for the week: John 20: 1- 18

There were a lot of people during the gathering on this snowy day. The snow didn't stop people to come to the house of the LORD.

There was an Easter eggs hunt after church. Yes, in the snow. It was cold and windy. Some children did go for it. Others were given a bag so that didn't have to go outside to look for eggs.

I hope that all will have a wonderful 2nd quarter of 2018.
Enjoy the Easter Season.

May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Romans 15:13

Thanks for reading.
God bless you.
