Dear friends,

Everybody in this life is controlled by someone. Everyone. No one is completely free all on their own.

In the gospel, you get a king who says, "I love you. I love you so much that I will go against my own nature for the benefit of your nature. I will so order and rearrange my life so that I can lead the charge against sin and death. I'm not the kind of ruler who will just send slaves to blindly obey my commands. I will actually go first. And I will die for you. I love you that much."

Isn’t that amazing? He loves you that much!

This week, we join in praising our humble king. We’re celebrating what we call “Palm Sunday” or “Passion Sunday”. We remember the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as a king, but a humble king.

Services will be at 9 and 10:30.

Part of that will be a palm processional. During the palm processional, we’ll march together into the sanctuary carrying palm branches. Matthew and John tell us that people waved these branches when Jesus rode into town. We do the same thing to honor him.

See you this weekend at 9:00 or 10:30 for Jesus’ humility.

Easter services

Jesus is alive. The message of Easter is simple. The man from Nazareth who died is once again alive.

I look forward to Easter each year. I like the excitement, the freshness, the cleanness, and the newness. After I’ve asked, “is it true?” and “what does it mean?”, I just relax and enjoy.

I hope you enjoy Easter too. I hope you enjoy all that is fresh and new and clean. All of us at Peace wish you and your families and friends a blessed Easter.

And if you’d like, we’d be honored to celebrate with you.

We’ll have services at 9:00 and 10:30 am.
We’ll have a light, portable breakfast available at about 9:45 so you can chat and watch your kids at the egg hunt.
We’ll start an egg hunt at about 10:10 for the kids.
