I would have liked to post Easter greetings this morning, but our night-time service was followed by several hours of feasting and good conversation in and around the fellowship hall and I got home about 4 a.m. and fell peacefully asleep. I highly recommend a great festal potluck after Easter services, no matter your denomination. It seems especially festive after the long Lenten season, if your community observes Lent.
Our small church was bursting at the seams; we had the nave and narthex doors open so people could stand all the way to the entrance. It was our largest gathering ever. I hear that church attendance across denominations is increasing. The Baptist church around the corner recently added on to their building and Catholics on YouTube are talking about all the new enquirers. I hope all of your congregations are growing and thriving as well.
And now, after more than 40 days of fasting, we begin 40 days of celebration. Christ is risen!

"If I am to love a man, I must love him as he is; yet if I am to love him as I love myself, then I may fight with him to the degree that I would fight myself. I may even kill him, if there are things I would rather kill myself than be guilty of having done."
Well, brothers fight sometimes.
Happy Easter.
