March 27 – “Christ is risen. He is risen indeed”

Just a quick Easter note today.  I have to be at the church around 5 for the sunrise service preparation.  I did a baby dedication at the beach last night.  Very sweet mommy and Grandma and Grandpa.  We did the vows part first then Mom and I took the two-year old into the water where I poured water over her head to show the covering of the Holy Spirit until such time as she can choose to follow Jesus on her own.  The little girl was cute as a button.  Stayed very quiet the whole time and even gave three or four hugs when we got done.  They are supposed to be at the sunrise service, too.  Looking forward to seeing them.  

Matthew 28:1-6 says, “After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.  There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.   His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.  The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.  The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.  He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.’”


Father, take care of little Sarah and her family.  And please send you Spirit in a great way to the services today.  Amen.
