Running and Clinging

Colossians 3:1-4 and John 20:1-18

As different as this “social distanced” Holy Week has been this year, the stories and message of our faith are the same. Out of death God makes new Life. Where there was no hope, now there is hope!

To get to Easter morning we face Good Friday first. In preparation, for our online Candle Light Service please find a cross in your home, a necklace, pocket cross, or cross on the wall or table. Or even a cross in a card. Have that present with you as you watch and participate in the Friday evening online service.

On Sunday morning at 11 am we hope to be outside weather permitting. Have a flower or plant nearby as a reminder of life blooming or waiting to bloom. We will hear of the disciples seeing the unexpected and then running. Of Mary Magdalene crying and then once again reaching out to cling to her Savior. We will hear where our hearts should be confidently placed as our life unfolds here and now.

This is not a “normal” time in our lives. It is disruptive from jobs to school to relationships and daily routine. But so were the times of the church experiencing the hope of Resurrection centuries ago and up into our time….and beyond.

Join our community in worship this Friday night and Sunday morning. And find your personal story written into the Eternal Story of Resurrection!

If you have any joys or concerns please email them to me at pastor-barry@kedronumc.org

Please remember your tithes and offerings. They can be sent to our treasurer Naomi Lee.

This Friday and Easter Sunday “tune in” once again on our Facebook page for worship!

The Good Friday service will be pre-recorded and posted on Friday evening. Should be available at 7:30 pm

We will live stream on Sunday at 11 am. Bookmark the link https://www.facebook.com/KedronUMC/

Peace and Grace to all~~~†
