Some of those renewals we get to experience: national revival, new church projects completed, working towards hunger insecurity. Others, like the death of a loved one, we wait to celebrate in the Kingdom of God to come. As Christians, we experience resurrection every day and are called to share it in our worship and work. Every day can be Easter, all year long. I love the hymn Easter People Raise Your Voices. It was written by Rev. William M. James. He wrote around 50 hymns. He once said “I wrote hymns for my congregation whenever I needed one. 'Easter People' is not the greatest hymn I have, but it took better than the others.” This song is important reminder to live every day as Easter people—individuals whose lives are transformed by the promise of resurrection. Resurrection symbolizes not only the triumph of life over death but also the promise of new beginnings and eternal life. Just as Jesus emerged from the tomb, victorious over death, believers are called to embrace the transformative power of resurrection in our own lives. It is a time for reflection, renewal, and recommitment to living out the principles of love, compassion, and forgiveness exemplified by Christ. We are challenged to let go of fear and doubt, and to embrace hope and faith instead. Just as the disciples were transformed by the resurrection of Jesus, so too are we called to be agents of transformation in the world around us. Through acts of kindness, generosity, and reconciliation, Easter people bear witness to the transformative power of Christ's resurrection and share the message of hope with all they encounter. As we journey through the Easter season, let us embrace our identity as people of resurrection hope. May the joy of Easter inspire us to live boldly, love extravagantly, and proclaim the Good News of new life in Christ. In doing so, may we embody the timeless truth: Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! In Christ, Pastor Jana ׉ 7cassandra://RXTrV02cATGXSraQSDrUfkjBnbN2stLSRteUAGoovX8- `fܮRAEp׉EEaster ׉ 7cassandra://VSoPC6vpfCozCA7CJCMvhb6ucfYU-ZISBl-IwgUnag07`fܮRAEqfܮRAEpבCטHu׉׉ 7cassandra://pRCClG0K6V9xVElwws2MgD79Hpv1TpwdSS2vUg7nVnc`$t׉ 7cassandra://pcuV-umxHGrbpDMVzJyL4bJX__0xPbT0RY-A4p84UeI=`׉ 7cassandra://v6966bbKdGFD0PM9Utne3vDmCMtYn1_uzEiI83BUOWE1`fݮRAEטHHu׉׉ 7cassandra://XbtI8z06ytkE1fKstIIUFPEG-MTql_YEz_J34A-3q7I_v`$t׉ 7cassandra://C7B1hrzTEK8qj9-KpAKWl_JgUzDvD7s2uPU6KEnN4-k͢`׉ 7cassandra://Jj3deodt5p346ee2XawYjzFdpOD3UsEVyFrSwQh_47k*`fݮRAE׉EUWF & UMM, Upcoming Event ׉ 7cassandra://v6966bbKdGFD0PM9Utne3vDmCMtYn1_uzEiI83BUOWE1`fܮRAEr׉EMissions ׉ 7cassandra://Jj3deodt5p346ee2XawYjzFdpOD3UsEVyFrSwQh_47k*`fܮRAEsfܮRAErבCטHu׉׉ 7cassandra://0q0bE87F5g_NjnHSH4L1px6W84Bf2K4dmgfYQIBvePkX*`$t׉ 7cassandra://QOsaAuc-CNsb9RtYjARfSKQotsEL8rggMVDDXKRZlhAͤ~`׉ 7cassandra://t5zXhD0IJRg4qs-tTOgNF7VnsDCQjCcJb0cAasURFJE1r`fݮRAEטHHu׉׉ 7cassandra://orH5iEExGEqpH9TmEE3_p785F85-UBa-t4qeYwzbEkc%H`$t׉ 7cassandra://ykB67Mm2j1JRxNLo6b41xvtXBO3hfnM_ewmPijXAZFA͈~`׉ 7cassandra://cXylf7_n6cPquykhkNQf1DFvCVxXnoLE2QlHLtWd1e0*`fݮRAE׉ETrustee Report ׉ 7cassandra://t5zXhD0IJRg4qs-tTOgNF7VnsDCQjCcJb0cAasURFJE1r`fܮRAEt׉EGeneral Conference, Bible Study, Birthdays, and Worship Scriptures Worship Scriptures 4.14.24 4.7.24 4.21.24 4.28.24 1 John 1:1-2:2 1 John 3:1-7 1 John 3:16-24 John 15:1-8 ׉ 7cassandra://cXylf7_n6cPquykhkNQf1DFvCVxXnoLE2QlHLtWd1e0*`fܮRAEufܮRAEtבCטHu׉׉ 7cassandra://_vU9AFDGGpZ8pGlKbGc87pIHgfnLkQQmzkZffal4VLo`$t׉ 7cassandra://BcjeHfDVnnZ0QWEWrPxP7uADUFWxlylJeiOhYHg8IQc͒J`׉ 7cassandra://IaCt-BW_AL4awd3KEZ0BPJP7s4VG4oPSgFHPSq1fD6Q,`fݮRAE׉ECalendar and Living Out our Membership Vows April Calendar April 6 April 7 April 9 April 10th April 11th April 14th April 16th April 17th April 18th April 21st April 24th April 25th April 28th April 30th United Methodist Men Breakfast 8:00 at Wesley UMC Worship 9:30 Small Groups 10:30 Pack Snack Bags at Cavanaugh 5:30 Boy Scouts 6:00-8:00 Evening Stars 6:00 at Western Sizzling Bible Study at Cavanaugh - 12:00 Choir 5:30 Handbells 6:30 Bible Study on Zoom 6:00 Worship 9:30 Small Groups 10:30 Movie Night at Cavanaugh 6:00 Boy Scouts 6:00-8:00 Bible Study 12:00 at Cavanaugh Choir 5:30 Handbells 6:30 Let’s Do Lunch at Cavanaugh 10-1 One Council 6:30 Worship 9:30 Small Groups 10:30 Lenten Service 5:00 at Cavanaugh UMC Bible Study at Cavanaugh at 12:00 Choir 5:30 Handbells 6:30 Bible Study on Zoom 6:00 Worship 9:30 Small Groups 10:30 Boy Scouts 6:00-8:00 Gifts: Date General Missions Mar. 3 $2,860 $135 Mar. 10 $2,313 Mar. 17 $465 Mar. 24 $1,988 Mar. 31 $1,156 Service: Worship: 9:30 Sunday school 10:30 Mission: Farmer’s Market Ministry, Cooking Matters, blessing box and more.
