For Christians Easter is the celebration of the Resurrection – a new life, a new beginning. For all of us it means that it’s time to get ready to plant our gardens and get ready for summer – a new beginning. Many of us have had our Covid vaccinations and we are beginning to experience the new normal of life. It’s a time of rebirth and repentance – changing our way of life. By now we have had our fill of jellybeans, chocolate, and ham and so it’s time to shed our winter weight and get ready for summer!
One of the hymns that we love to sing in church is Amazing Grace. It was written in the 1700’s by an Englishman named John Newton who was a slave trader-turned-abolitionist. The word “grace” means God’s unconditional love and so as you hear the lyrics you can understand the revelation that John Newtown experienced. He made such a major change in his life and it was all due to God’s grace. He changed his way of life!
Please continue to pray for those in our communities who are affected by drug or alcohol abuse, those who are struggling with illness and those who are mourning the loss of a loved one. We all need healing. At Four Corners we are experiencing new life – our new pastor, Holly Brittain. She is a down to earth lady who brings to us her life stories and enthusiasm for her faith. Come and join us for coffee at 8:30 a.m. and service at 9am on Sunday morning.
Peace.
