St. John's Epistle for April 12, 2012

Dear Easter people,

Easter Sunday was a great celebration! Attendance was very good at both services with a combined attendance around 250 people. Youth group members did a good job of leading the sunrise service which is always a special service. The 10:30 am service was genuine with the music and baptisms supporting the sermon text about the resurrection of Jesus as described in Mark's gospel. WE are the rest of the story that God wants to share with the world. God calls us to bear witness to the gospel both with our lives and with our mouths.

This Sunday we are blessed to have Rev. Linda Herron preach the Word of God to God's people here. Looking ahead to April 29, we have a healing service which is becoming more and more popular and powerful. On that same Sunday, April 29, we have a bake sale and a blood drive.

Judy England will be in concert on April 29, 2012 at Willow Meadows Baptist Church, 4300 West Bellfort Ave., Houston, TX, 77035. This is a benefit concert for Braes Interfaith Ministries and all proceeds will go to BIM. Speak to Vivian in the church office for ticket information.

Here is a video of our children playing in the courtyard on Palm Sunday and here is a video of my Good Friday homily at Salem Lutheran Church. Thank you to the Faith in Action Committee for handling an inspired redesign of our church website.

Your pleased to be on this post-resurrection journey with you pastor,

Pastor Jon
