It seemed Monday as if the Easter season was already in full bloom. Bev and I were in Sacramento running errands and we ended up at the Arden Fair Shopping Mall. Mondays are usually quiet there, but not this Monday. It was a wet and blustery day--even cold--but there were people everywhere, most of them shopping for, what I am guessing, were Easter clothes.
On this this Sunday more people will be in church than any Sunday of the year. And, yes, we at Grace Fellowship, like most other churches, will have a weekend full of activities to take advantage of their seasonal interest. Friday evening we will show the film, THE PASSION OF JESUS CHRIST, and share Communion. We will have three worship services on Sunday, including sunrise service early and a brunch later. It will be a busy weekend.
But it is an opportunity to share the gospel. We have provided our church family with materials to minister to their families and in their immediate sphere of influence, encouraging them to intentionally share the "good news". For all of the commercial advertisement, and all the secularization of the season, I remain confident that as we pray this is a week that can make a difference.
