Spring 2010: Easter Worship Series
Posted on : Apr 2nd, 2010 | By office | Category: Special Events
Raised up!
We live in a world where we are more apt to be put down than raised up;
more apt to put others down than raise them up.
But that’s not God’s intention for our lives.
Here are some of the ways God raises us up:
“The Buried Life: What do you want to do before you die?” Easter Day
God is always present in our lives, calling us by name and raising us up into the fullness of life. Matthew 28: 1-7; John 20: 1-18
Dan Smith, Pastor
“Touching: How Close is Too Close?” Apr. 11
Thomas insists on touching the Risen Christ before he will believe. Have we missed the importance of touch and touching? Have we been missing the life-affirming and spirit-raising power of the soft gentle touch of a friend, of a partner, of the different? Let’s see what Jesus and Thomas have to show us about touching. John 19: 19-29
Brian Symonds, Candidate for Ministry

“Leave the dead to bury their dead.” Matthew 18-22

“A time to say NO and a time to BREAK the Silence!” May 9
“For if you remain silent at a time like this, vindication and liberation will come to our people through another source, but you and your family will surely die. Who’s to say? You may have come into the royal court for just this moment.” Esther 1: 1-21 & Esther 4: 16.
