Becoming more like Jesus
Tuesdays, 10:00 am or 6:30 pm – Lenten study: The Promise and Power of Easter. This week’s thoughts and scriptures: Matthew 28:1-7 & I Corinthians 15:12-19
“The death of Jesus happens on a Friday, which is often called Good Friday and then there is silent Saturday. It’s a day of wondering what has happened and what is going on. So many of us live in that in-between place where perhaps the dream has died, the promise has died, the opportunity has died. The Easter message does not finish on Saturday. There’s always a resurrection Sunday. That is what sets our faith apart.”
Be ready to discuss: Where are you facing a “silent Saturday” and perhaps wrestling with the death of a dream, promise, or opportunity?
