There is only 1 thing to say…
After Easter Sunday, Easter Saturday, Good Friday, Maundy-Thursday, Palm Sunday, Lent and all the rest, there is only 1 thing to say… “Thank you!”
To volunteers who read lessons and prayers, ushered or greeted…
To volunteers who baked treats, brought flowers and cleaned up after the crowds…
To volunteers who made music and led worship and lit the candles…
To volunteers who decorated and counted…
To volunteers who gave of their time and loaned us their feet…
To those who took their First Communion…
To their parents and families and sponsors…
To God for Helen who died on Holy Saturday…
To the staff who worked long hours faithfully and creatively…
To the Gospel writers who told the story…
To the first preacher who said, “I have seen the Lord.”
To the disciples who heard and believed the Good News…
To the Church, the Body of Christ…
To those who gathered…
To God the Father…
To the Only Son…
To the Spirit surrendered by One and given to All…
For Forgiveness…
And Love…
For God’s victory over Sin, Death & the Devil…
Thank you!
