Happy Easter to all! We offer our thanks to the many people who helped make Lent and Easter a very special season in the life of the church. To our Sr. Highs who led a beautiful Easter Sunrise Service...the Argueta family who cooked a delicious Easter breakfast...the Jr. Highs who took care of the Easter Egg Hunt...our vocal and bell choirs for providing beautiful music in worship...and the smiling faces of everyone who joined us for worship to celebrate our risen Lord!
And the celebration continues! The Sunday following Easter (April 27 this year) is known in some circles as Bright Sunday or Holy Humor Sunday. According to ancient tradition, this Sunday was celebrated with humor because God played the ultimate joke on Satan by promising that Jesus would die as a sacrifice for humanity's sin, but then raising Jesus from the dead!
We celebrate with this day with humor because we believe that laughter and joy are a gift from God, and the joy of the resurrection should lighten our burdens and help us enjoy the gift of new life we've been promised by God through Jesus the Christ.

It's already time to think about Vacation Bible School! We've already been getting calls for information about this year's VBS and the planning is well underway. The dates for VBS 2014 is July 28 through August 1 and you can get more information on our VBS webpage. There you'll also find a registration form and more about our theme, the Great Bible Reef! Be sure to bring your kids to one of our community's most popular Vacation Bible Schools (don't take our word for it - just ask around!).
