EASTERTIDE

The Easter Season (the fifty days from Easter Sunday to Pentecost) is more than an extended celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. Eastertide gives us time to rejoice and experience what we mean when we say Christ is risen and that we, as the church, are the body of the Risen Lord. It’s a season for focusing on the core doctrines and mysteries of the faith and for preparing for the ministries the Spirit has empowered us to undertake in Jesus’ name. (umc.org) Alleluia, Christ is Risen! The Lord is Risen indeed, Alleluiah!
