So this weekend was the Senior Trip for our graduating seniors.   It was a blast.  We went to Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffle, checked in to our hotel, went swimming, then spent the next day at Disneyland.  Hit church at Saddleback, went to Laguna Beach and then drove home.

 THE ZONE SWEATS ARE HERE!!!!

Woo-Hoo!  Just what you were looking for!
 
For those of you who Zone Sweats for those of you who ordered Zone sweats can pick them up THIS SUNDAY at the Member Services Table.  They are so warm and snuggly and I know you are going to love them.  If you didn't get a chance to pre-order them, we still  have a limited amount of sizes available for purchase for only $20.  These work GREAT for pajamas at camp, dressing up like Rocky, keeping your warm on your next Ski Trip, and much, much more.

Today we had a HUGE turn out for the Prayer Brunch.  There must have been almost 20 people there. We chowed down on huge amounts of food ranging from coffee cake muffins, scrambled eggs, bacon, juice, pancakes, pigs in a blanket.  It was delightfully yummy.  AFter we ate, we had a great time of worship and prayer together.  I hope your spring break continues to go well.  Have fun with all this Sun!

What a wonderful way to celebrate the resurrection!  Yesterday's worship service was so encouraging and powerful.  I hope that as you reflected on Jesus coming back from the dead, that you were inspired in your faith.  A Big Thank You to all of you who were part of the Communion Drama.  It was such a great part of yesterday's worship service.

IT’S RESURRECTION SUNDAY!!!

In other words, it’s Easter!  Now when I was a kid, Easter was really all about candy and a great breakfast at our house.  Yeah, we went to church, but that got lost in all of the other tradition.  But today is the day where we truly celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.  His conquering death and evil and Satan.

Can you think of a more important day in history?

Think of what today means:

I hope that this Easter is a special one for you and that you are changed by what God did on this day for you!.

Today is the day some churches call "Holy Saturday."  It is the day between the Crucifixion of Jesus and His Resurrection.  Can you imagine how depressing of a day that must have been?  If you were one of the apostles, did you really anticipate what was going to happen the next day?  Did you really expect an empty tomb?  My guess is that many of the apostles walked around this day in a complete and utter daze.  Wondering what the past three years were all about.  Forgetting all the foreshadowing that Jesus used to allude to His death and resurrection.  Unable to put all the dots together and realize that tomorrow was going to be one of the most amazing days, if not the most amazing day in history.

The wind was probably totally knocked out of their sails.  

As they walked by the Empty Cross, what kind of feelings welled up in their hearts?  

Did they get angry?

Sad?

Bitter?

Hopeful?

They must have felt some sort of betrayal or completely tricked by Jesus as they looked at the tomb that was sealed shut along with all their hopes and dreams.  Feeling like a fool to ever believe this guy from Nazareth.  “How could I be so stupid?” they might have said to themselves.

Was is a cloudy, dark depressing day?  That day when no one was completely sure of what the next day had in store for the World?

Or perhaps, maybe a few of them remembered the words of Jesus where he said he was the “Resurrection” and the “Life.”   And they just couldn’t wait until tomorrow.

Imagine what life was like the day between the Crucifixion and the confirmation of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday.  What would have gone through your mind?

How much fun was THAT?  Group Date Night was a BLAST!!!!  After getting some killer dating advice from some older men and women of the congregation, we headed out on our respective dates.  Some went to Quizno's, Some went to Togos and some went to Wendy's. 

We then met up for Gow-In-The-Dark Putt-Putt Gold at the Great Mall.  It was way cool!  We finished off the evening at Starbuck's.  It was just simply a great time.

The Junior Highers had a BLAST last night bowling.  It might have been cold and rainy outside, but inside Moonlight Bowl was really, really cool.  Halfway through our bowling time they turned on the rockin lights, strobes, and neon.  It was a blast!  Kedrick proved to be one of the best bowlers in the group.  Afterwards we hit Baskin Robbins for a little ice cream delight.
