My Church Home
(author unknown)
This is my home, my church home,
The place where I belong,
Where friends and loved ones join with me,
In praise and Prayer and song.
This is my home, my church home,
With doors that open wide,
Where I can come when cares beset,
And know love waits inside.
This is my home, my church home,
My heaven from the storm.
Where friendly hands reach out to me,
Gracious and true and warm.
This is my home, my church home,
Oh, that I could share,
The strength and love and peace and joy,
With all folks everywhere.
Easter Season
The Easter Season, also known as the Great Fifty Days, begins at sunset Easter Eve and continues through the Day of Pentecost. It is the most joyous and celebrative season of the Christian year. It focuses on Christ's resurrection and ascension and on the giving's of the Holy Spirit on the first Easter (John 20:22-23) and the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2). Lessons from the Acts of the Apostles replace readings from the Old Testament because the early church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, is the best witness to the Resurrection. The ancient Christian name for this festival is Pasch, derived from the Hebrew pesah ("deliverance" or "passover"), thus connecting the Resurrection to the Exodus. The origin of the English word Easter is disputed but may come from the Anglo-Saxon spring goddess Eastre and her festival. Pentecost comes from the Greek pentekoste, which means "fiftieth." It refers to the Jewish Feast of Weeks, which Greek-speaking Jews called the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1). Early Christians also used the term Pentecost to refer to the Great Fifty Days as a season.
Thinking about Easter and the days leading up to it, we short ourselves in thinking it is just a single day on the calendar. Easter is so much more! Jesus' resurrection is the most pivotal even in human history. He gave his life on the Cross for our sins.
