He is Risen...
He is Risen indeed!
Easter greetings to you,
I am thankful for so many things! First on my list is all of you! What a beautiful Holy Week experience which culminated with our Easter services.
Living Waters is blessed with artistic talents. Last month Kristen Massimo envisioned the 10:30 Easter service. Yesterday that vision became a reality.
We gathered in the narthex outside of the darkened walls of the sanctuary. Hearing Chris Wagner, David Hawkins, and Michael Massimo singing, "Were you there when he rose up from the tomb" was chilling. Then the doors opened as we heard members of the choir singing, "Jesus Christ is Risen Today."
Thank you to Amy Villegas for selecting such lovely flowers to beautify our sanctuary and to Judy Abel, Cindy Cooper and Colleen for arranging them. Thank you to Mary Ann Reiter for stripping the palms, and to Wendy and Eric for changing the paraments. For all the worship assistants: Bob Connelly, Chris and Kathy Wagner, Sonia Delgado, Pat Johnston, Dwayne States-Codding, and Shannon Bumgarner. Thank you to Sisi for sharing your gifts hat helped engage our emotions through music. Finally, thank you Colleen for managing the livestream for all of the services.
"He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him. This is my message for you." Matthew 28: 7. This is our invitation to seek beyond the walls of the tomb and see the risen Christ moving in and through all of our lives.
He is Risen...
He is Risen Indeed!
