Last night was a sacred gathering as we observed Good Friday in solemn reflection and worship. Through our service, "A Service of Shadows," we deeply contemplated Jesus Christ's profound sacrifice. Indeed, Good Friday's significance is fully realized when we anticipate the dawn of Resurrection Sunday. Isn't it remarkable that even the weather in Central Ohio today mirrors the somber mood with its dreary rain? Yet, within the darkness, there is a promise of radiant light! Tomorrow, as we come together to celebrate Easter, we embrace the transformative power of Jesus' resurrection and the promise of new life it brings to each of us. With joyous hearts, we will exclaim, "Christ is Risen! Christ is Risen indeed!" Whether you are a newcomer or have long been a part of our Messiah family, know that you are warmly welcomed, and I extend a heartfelt invitation for you to join us. Our Easter service will be filled with scripture, song, prayer, and meaningful reflections. As we decorate the Easter cross with flowers, symbolizing the blossoming of new life, I encourage you to engage in this celebration as you feel comfortable. Messiah is a diverse and vibrant community dedicated to Knowing Christ, Growing in Faith, and Serving Others. Worship is but one facet of our shared mission and vision. Explore the myriad opportunities available on our website to connect and extend a hand of service to those in need. If you're seeking a spiritual home where you can deepen your faith journey, I hope you might consider taking the next step with us at Messiah. Please join us at any of our three Sunday worship services tomorrow: 8:15 AM, 9:30 AM, and 11 AM. Our 9:30 AM and 11 AM services will be streamed live on our website, Facebook, and YouTube platforms. Additionally, during our 9:30 AM service, all children are invited to have fun at our Easter Egg Hunt immediately following the children's moments in the Sanctuary. Nursery care will also be available for our little ones during this service. May the miracle of resurrection fill your hearts with renewed hope, faith, love, and joy. May the Risen Christ's blessings be upon you abundantly!
