From Jane Davis I am praying for you this morning…It’s Resurrection Tuesday. May we always remember what Jesus did for us…not just Good Friday, and Resurrection Sunday. Sunday was a day of celebration…it brought promise, life and hope. Why do we so easily pack it all away in a “box” until next year? Jesus is still risen, as He said He would be. I’ve asked Him to renew His resurrection in our hearts every day. To give us reminders of what He did for us… Everyday. Reminders of the hope He gives us… Everyday. Happy Easter Tuesday. We are Easter People. “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 Peter 1:3  We are Easter PeopleEaster gives us hope – a hope that promises fullness of life! Easter People believe the resurrection of Jesus shows that suffering, disappointment and death can be transformed into new life! This week we remember that we are Easter People all year long! We thank you, God, for showing us that nothing can separate us from You. Not death, not sickness or fear, not darkness or pain, can ever keep You from us, for we know that: Christ is risen from the dead, glory hallelujah! We give thanks for Your loving care, and we pray for everyone who is sick or suffering, that they may be healed; we pray for everyone who is mourning, that they may be comforted, for we know that: Christ is risen from the dead, glory hallelujah! We give thanks for Your peace, and we pray for all who govern or who are in authority, that they may work for justice, for we know that: Christ is risen from the dead, glory hallelujah! We give thanks for the church, and especially for this faith community, and we pray that it may be a place of welcome, healing, and reconciliation, for we know that: Christ is risen from the dead, glory hallelujah! We give thanks for our friends and families, and we pray that their hearts may be lifted and joyful today; we pray also for ourselves, that the spirit of Easter may remain with us, for we know that: Christ is risen from the dead, glory hallelujah! Blessings, Beth Palmer  Mega & Mobile Mustard April  Join Us, Home Dedication  He is not here! He is risen! He is risen, indeed! We are Easter people. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the basis of the gospel. We believe that Jesus died for our sins and rose on the third day. This is the foundation of our faith and if we want nonbelievers to hear the gospel, Easter is a great Sunday to invite them! Invite your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors to join us this Easter Sunday. We would be honored to have the privilege of sharing with everyone the promise of the hope in Christ and His resurrection! Easter Worship *Sunrise Service – 7:00am @ The Bolivian Cross at Light on the Hill at Mount Wesley. (610 Methodist Encampment.) *Shuttle bus will begin running at 6:15 at the Light on the Hill parking lot to take people up to the cross. You are also welcome to walk up to the cross, but please do not drive your vehicles up to the cross. Traditional Worship – 8:15am and 10:45am in the Kerrville First United Methodist Church Sanctuary. (321 Thompson Dr.) Contemporary Worship – 9:30am in the Kerrville First United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall. (321 Thompson Dr.)     The promise is given that they will “renew their strength” by mounting up with “with wings as eagles.” The term “mount up” literally means to rise to another level. As the eagle is able to soar to spectacular heights on wind currents, the child of God will gain new heights by being uplifted by the Spirit of God. As we approach Easter, I am renewed by this promise of hope. Pastor David’s messages on Sunday mornings have been exactly what I needed to hear to renew my soul and the testimonies given at the all-church meeting on Monday about all God is doing in our faith community were so encouraging to my spirit. I hope you can feel it, too! So, let’s keep praying, keep serving, keep being faithful, keep being obedient, and keep sharing our stories. With God, all things are possible!
