Easter at Faith

Communication

Humorist Bob Orben explains this 'conversation' with his son who was home from college for the holidays:
 
I asked him, "How are things going?"

He said, "Good."
 
I said, "How's the food?"
 
He said, "Good."
 
I said, "And the dormitory?"
 
He said, "Good."
 
I said, "They've always had a strong football team.  How do you think they'll do this year?"
 
He said, "Good."
 
I said, "How are your studies going?"
 
He said, "Good."
 
I said, "Have you decided on your major yet?"
 
He said, "Yes."
 
I said, "What is it?"
 
He said, "Communications."
 
Sometimes, when it comes to telling others the story of Easter, we are too much like the son.  Odd that God should leave you and me in charge of telling the most incredible story ever...but who else is there to share the Easter story? Though it may be somewhat outside your comfort zone, please invite someone to attend the Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and/or the Easter service with you.

In Faith,

Seder Celebration ...
We invite everyone to join us in experiencing a Passover Seder this Tuesday, March 30th. Dinner is at 5:30 p.m. in Faith Center with the Seder Celebration to follow at 6:30 p.m.
 
This is a story of sadness which does have a happy ending. It has all the elements of an adventurous saga: slavery and oppression followed by a journey ending in freedom and redemption and faith in God providing hope for the future. In experiencing this Seder, one will learn the meaning of the ancient ritual in which Jesus and the disciples participated in the Upper Room and, in effect, re-live it. By attending this event, one will be setting the stage for their attending the Maundy Thursday service later in the week.
