IT IS THE RISEN CHRIST IN WHOM WE FIND OUR HOPE.  HE IT IS WHO CALLS US.

Easter brings joy untold and promises beyond imagining!  Death is destroyed and eternal life
offered to all ...  The fifty day season of Easter provides rich opportunity to rejoice and be glad, for
the Lord is risen indeed.

The risen Christ reaches out - in his resurrection glory - to touch our hearts and change our lives.  He
is calling each of us to be holy; calling each of us to follow him;  calling each of us to give everything
that we are to him.

If we seek happiness on our own terms we will never be satisfied.  If we seek the risen Christ,
happiness will be the reward and the blessing.  True happiness is not found in deciding our own
destiny but in placing our whole lives in God's hands and trusting him to direct, guide and love us.

This Easter do not delay!  Christ is calling you to some special task ...  he waits for you in the
tabernacle ...  he wants to show you what true happiness is all about ...  he will stop at nothing to
save you and set you free ...  Say a resounding 'YES' to him this Easter.  A new joy - deeper, richer,
more profound - will be his gift and blessing to you.

Happy Easter!  Say yes!
