Resurrection Sunday

Electrifying. That's the word I would use to describe this weekend at Harvest. Our Good Friday service was packed. People began the night perusing the art that was placed in the foyer depicting the Christ's atonement for sin. All the art was created by people within our church! As we entered the auditorium, all of our hearts were moved as we heard passage after passage being read to us concerning sin, atonement, and salvation. Near the end, the passages were from the crucifixion narrative which culminated in partaking the Lord's Supper. Songs were interspersed amidst the readings...I believe Christ was exalted.

Resurrection Sunday was also a high moment for all. It was our first Sunday doing two services which created extra work logistically but God was our help and strength. For me, I loved preaching twice and worshiping Christ again with everyone. The worship and praise was magnificent!

May God continue to be favorable to us as we seek to please Him and may He grant us all the boldness to speak freely of His saving grace among our acquaintances in Rockford!
