Minister's Minute

Christianity is a tweet in 30 characters: "Christ is risen from the Dead." The women went in grief to the tomb on Easter Sunday. They found it to be empty and an angelic messenger telling them that he was not there and that he had risen. They shared that "Good News" with the disciples.

Glorious start to spring offers ability to take part in renewal

Well, that was quick! It seems like just a few days ago I was taking down my Christmas tree.

The bonus of the flip side is that spring and everything that is good about it is roaring in to our region with a stretch of weather that has been unbelievable.
