Easter Greetings

Celebration of Jesus's Death And Resurrection
Christ's death was accompanied by at least four miraculuos events



1. Darkness came all over the land.
2. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
3. The earth shook and rocks split.
4. Dead people rising from their tombs.

The Angel announces the good news of resurrection.



1. Do not be afraid. The reality of resurrection brings joy not fear.
2. He is not here. Jesus is not dead, don't look for him among the dead.
3. Come and see. The tomb was empty then, as it is empty today.
4. Go quickly and tell. They were to spread the joy of the resurrection.

(Rev. Rachel (Senior Pastor)




The Christian Barber



There was a barber that thought that he should share his faith with his customers more than he had been doing lately. So the next morning when the sun came up and the barber got up out of bed, he said “Today I am going to witness to the first man that walks through my door.”
Soon after he opened his shop the first man came in and said, “ I want a shave!” The barber said, “Sure, just sit in the seat and I’ll be with you in a moment.” The barber went in the back and prayed a quick desperate prayer saying, “God, the first customer came in and I’m going to witness to him. So give me the wisdom to know just the right thing to say to him. Amen”
Then quickly the barber came out with his razor knife in one hand and a Bible in the other while saying,

“Good morning sir, I have a question for you…Are you ready to die?”






No Peace For The Wicked

There is unseen law at work within the lives of humans. Our Creator stated that there is no peace for the wicked (Isaiah 57:21). Though it may seem as if they are at times prospering, they are also standing on slippery slopes (Psalm 73:18).

There is always a day of reckoning for the wicked, because God has the final say in all things. Their acts have created enemies, and there is no rest from the pressures of those eny them.

A righteous and good person, however, has learned to love others and will be loved in return. Friends and family will surround him or her.

Peace does not come from how much or wealth we accumulate, but an inner mind-set that comes from doing what is right in God's sight.

That kind of peace is a gift from God.
