Notes From Mark

It is good to be at Emmanuel! Once again we are seeing the first signs of spring. There is
change in the air. It is a time of renewal both in the earth and in our hearts. Easter is April 1st. I hope you are making plans to worship with us on that day. This year we will strip the altar
and platform bare and fill it with symbols that remind us of the gifts God has given us. Starting with Creation we see how God has made plans for us all along the way. From saving His people with water (think Red Sea), to giving us His Word, to Jesus’ final act of reconciliation on the cross and the New Life that means for each one of us. We will celebrate this day for these incredible gifts and that we can celebrate no matter the circumstance; for God has given to us the final victory! It is a day of Good News! So invite your friends and neighbors to hear this sharing of the Gospel story.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13:34-35
