Can you recall an event, party or celebration that you just wish didn’t end? You know, the one that long after it was over everyone lingered, and when they finally left it was still discussed for days to follow. I imagine we can all recall at least one such event, be it a family gathering, victorious sporting game, holiday, or spontaneous get together with friends or loved ones.
It always seems to me that Easter is like that. The community we find in Lent, the walk through Holy Week, and joy of a packed church on Easter morning. We wish it would continue. The good news is that it does! Easter just began last Sunday, and the celebration lasts fifty days. Every week therein the church can be that packed, each week we can gather in community, and each week we can linger in the joy of what Jesus did for us all that day.
However, each week it is also up to you! As we press into the fullness of Easter we have so many joyous celebrations and offerings to assist you as we continue the celebration. On this Sunday we welcome two more into the household of Faith in the waters of baptism. We have a fellowship night on next Saturday on April 14. Bible study starts back up in Growth Groups the following week, and we have a community outreach event on April 21. We are living into the fulness of life that God has given to us through Jesus Christ each week at Saint Barnabas.
So keep the celebration going in your life by plugging into the abundant life Jesus gave us as we connect in community as a church throughout Easter. You won't want to miss a thing! For a full list of events, keep an eye on the calendar found here.
