We celebrated the resurrection of our Lord! First Baptist of Sun Lakes knows how to celebrate!! Beginning with the Friday evening Good Friday service then the Sunrise service (which was superb) followed by the worship service Sunday morning, God was so present. Everything that took place <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">involved</span> the cooperation and participation of a lot of people. The choir and those who sang solos permeated each <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">service</span> with <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">uplifting</span> music that honored the Father and was such a blessing to all of us. It would be very difficult to experience the moving and inspiring services that we enjoyed without these wonderful and devoted musicians! The Social Committee prepared a beautiful <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Continental</span> breakfast for everyone following the Sunrise service that really was welcomed after time out in God's beautiful (but cool) outdoors. Bill <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Westberg,</span> and those who helped him, moved quickly and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">efficiently</span> as the set up for the service outside and then quickly moved equipment and chairs inside for the breakfast and then Bible Study time. The Easter decorations made such a beautiful atmosphere for our celebration. Thank you Joan and Don Hart for all that you did to make this possible. I know that we come together most times and don't realize all the folks who serve faithfully to make every service go smoothly. Ushers, greeters, sound men and office staff seldom receive their just recognition, but I want them to know that we all appreciated them very much. I know their pastor does!<br /><br />Sometimes I reflect on all that God has done in the past through so many faithful people and then He reminds me, "Bill, I'm not finished yet." We have so much more to do and yet we don't want to be ahead of what the Father is doing in the life of our church. But it is very important that we make ourselves available for Him today. Yesterday has been good. Tomorrow is going to be better!! HE IS ALIVE! HE IS RISEN! We serve a RISEN LORD!<br />In His Grace,<br />PBPB'S Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06281980991968651342noreply@blogger.com
