Invitation

This is my brilliant 9 month old granddaughter, Emma, reading to her father.  She started doing this recently and with the dramatic voices and inflections she uses, he is enraptured with her through a whole book!  Actually, this is a precious moment caught on camera, showing a father's devotion to his precious daughter...I love this pic!

Okay, back to work.  I have some business to discuss with you.  We have a big day coming over at Harvest Spring Lake and I'd love for all of you to be a part of it.  On Good Friday, starting at 10 a.m. we will be re-installing the cross at our new facility.  For those of you who don't know the story, you need to come over between 10 and 2 on Good Friday and see the video we've made, explaining our history with the cross and the actual building.  Don't worry, it's all about Jesus - but the story is too long to share on a blog!  Along with the video, tour the building and see what God has done in the center of Spring Lake!

Then on Good Friday evening, we are having 2 services - 6 and 8 p.m. to remember the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  The services are entitled, They Didn't Know, and we'll be looking at some of the people who surrounded the crucifixion and their response to the death of Jesus.

Then on Easter Sunday, we will have two services to celebrate Jesus' resurrection, at 9 and 11 a.m.  I'd love to have all of you come and worship with us at our grand opening on a Grand Day!  Our services will focus on Day Three - praise the Lord that we know what happened on Day Three - for those of you who know Jesus, you understand how Day Three changed everything!

And for those of you who can't join us, no matter where you worship on that weekend, may your thoughts and praises be lifted high.  May your heart be stirred with joy at the wonder of Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection.  It's a day I always look forward to each year and it's a truth that empowers my life every day of the year.  

Jesus in my place. 

The gospel changes lives.

Hope to see you all on Good Friday - look for me.  I'll be the one with the huge smile!
