GROWING SEEDS - "Our Church Blessings"

 

I don’t think Easter is quite done with me yet.....so, I’m going to linger here for a bit longer if that's okay.

As I've mentioned before, Easter wasn't a major religious event I grew up with.  Since coming to the First United Methodist Church in Mount Vernon, I have been blessed over and over again by the beauty....yes, I said beauty.......of Christ's death and resurrection.  It was a painful, ugly time when He walked on this earth years ago, but today......today it's the bright shining Promise we hold securely in our hearts.  

 

Starting with the burnt palm leaves known as Ash Wednesday over a month ago......to Resurrection Day known as Easter Sunday last week, we, as a church family, have been blessed every step of the way.  Blessed to have a pastor who holds each of our hands and walks us down the path Christ walked over 2000 years ago so we can fully understand what His sacrifice means in each of our lives.

Blessed to have a Worship Team known as Betsy, Mark and Stephen who, week after week, unselfishly and tirelessly blend their many talents so we can feel the Holy Spirit touching our senses through song, music and video.  We worship on Holy Ground, folks.....and each of these amazing people are the ones "chosen" by God to bring His message each week to you.  

As you sit here in church reading this article, take a moment, look up and say a prayer of "Thanks" to God for blessing our little church in such a BIG way.

 

 

WE ARE SO VERY BLESSED...... 

BLESSED INDEED!
