A Note From Pastor Alan
Easter is always a special day. Sometimes, I begin to think what it was like that first Easter morning. What would I have been doing? Would I be sad, fearful, anxious, or excited? Sandy Patti came out with a song a number of years ago asking a simple question, "Was It A Morning Like This?" Enjoy these lyrics as Resurrection Sunday approaches. See you in worship or online!
Was it a morning like this?
When the Son still hid from Jerusalem
And Mary rose from her bed
To tend to the Lord she thought was dead
Was it a morning like this?
When Mary walked down from Jerusalem
And two angels stood at the tomb
Bearers of news she would hear soon
Did the grass sing?
Did the earth rejoice to feel You again?
Over and over like a trumpet underground
Did the earth seem to pound, "He is risen!"
Over and over in a never-ending round
"He is risen, hallelujah, hallelujah!"
Was it a morning like this?
When Peter and John ran from Jerusalem
And as they raced towards the tomb
Beneath their feet was there a tune?
Did the grass sing?
Did the earth rejoice to feel You again?
Over and over like a trumpet underground
Did the earth seem to pound, "He is risen!"
Over and over in a never-ending round
"He is risen, hallelujah, hallelujah!"
Was it a morning like this?
When my Lord looked out on Jerusalem
He is risen
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah!

Pray For Our Missionaries
Before meeting Jesus, Gryta*, a citizen of the Republic of North Macedonia (part of the Balkans), had low self-esteem and a pattern of destructive behavior due to past experiences of abuse, neglect, and health issues. She befriended IMB missionary Amy Williams at an ESL class and learned about the boundless love of Jesus, eventually joining a Bible study and receiving more kindness and acceptance from other Christian women.
In 2019, Amy saw a change in Gryta. Facing another health crisis, Gryta asked God for healing. Even when she didn’t immediately experience her desired results, she continued to praise God and declared His faithfulness to everyone around her. Through her witness, Gryta’s father chose to follow Jesus.
THE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM is the financial fuel for reaching every person for Jesus Christ in every town, every city, every state, and every nation. Your support through the Cooperative Program gives missionaries like Amy Williams the opportunity to form relationships and disciple others in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
PRAY that Gryta will continue to declare God’s faithfulness and that the Lord will answer her prayer for healing. Pray also for Amy as she counsels and encourages Gryta, as well as shares the Gospel with other European peoples.
