Easter 2008
During this Easter season...
- may you be blessed with an ever-growing faith in God's power to give you new life;
- may you be strengthened in hope as you await his bringing all things to fulfillment;
- may you live always in the springtime of his love.
Behold, I am telling you a mystery. We will not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed, in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet blast. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable nature must put on imperishability and this mortal nature must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:
Death is swallowed up in victory!
Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?
Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15: 51-55,57

If Christ has not been raised from the dead, our faith is futile, we are still in our sins, and those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.1 Corinthians 15: 17-18

Easter Sunday - March 23, 2008
In him a new age has dawned,
The long reign of sin is ended,
A broken world has been renewed,
And man is once again made whole.
