Easter is over, on toward summer!

I hadn't realized how long it's been since I last posted, but preparations for Palm Sunday and Easter took so much of my time, I'm just now getting a chance to breathe again. A little.

We saw 283 people between two services Easter morning...apparently an all-time high for the church (which celebrates its 30th year in September). Then there were the 40 or so folks who braved the chilly, damp morning air for the sunrise service at Moore Dam (on the reservoir). All in all, it was a great day.

The senior pastor left yesterday for three weeks: visiting his mother and dying father in Arizona; then on to Tennessee for a family reunion or get-together or some such thing for his wife's family. This leaves me holding down the fort for the next almost three weeks, including two Sundays!

This Sunday we will focus on Mission/Ministry, and the team that recently went to Honduras will report. Then we'll highlight opportunities this spring and summer for people to engage in. Next Sunday is communion Sunday and the Sunday before National Day of Prayer (May 4). My first communion service.

It's already been an exciting few days.
