The Story...
This past Sunday was Palm Sunday. This week is Passion Week. This Friday is Good Friday. This Sunday is Easter Sunday. If you don't know the significance of why we remember and celebrate this season as followers of Jesus... hmm... uh-oh... yea... go find out.
(http://www.crivoice.org/cyholyweek.html <--I found this through google as a good source of information, and you can also read Matthew ch. 26~28, Mark ch 14~16, Luke ch. 22~24, and John ch. 18~21, for the scriptural understanding.)
We all celebrate Christmas as our biggest holiday. This is like the chicken and egg question, but would Christmas be meaningful if Easter never happened? In other words, what good is Jesus' birth if he did not take up the cross for our sins, died, and rose again to signify God's power over sin and death?
I believe Easter should be celebrated just as much as Christmas. That is why I propose that you all buy me an Easter gift. (Puhaha j/k!) But in all seriousness, I hope that we can reflect on God's love for us throughout this week by remembering what our Savior went through to reach out to us. And come this Sunday to celebrate! The wisdom, power, and glory of our God who has conquered death and sin and has given us the promise of eternal life!
The OCpraise NEWS!
1.) We missed you! Sarah and Justin. Hope to see you this Saturday @12PM.
2.) I need some exposure to sunlight. Can we please go to the beach after practice this Saturday?
3.) But Jackie will you be here?? If not, Paul be ready on the drums and Justin to sing k?
4.) $$$ (we really need to pay back Justin and fix our amps...)
5.) New ShoutBox on the sidebar of this page! Use it to mark your presence at this site!
6.) Prayer Requests... Please leave a comment on every week's post and I'll post it the following week so we can all pray for eachother.
Finally, I don't know if you guys are acutally reading/using this site and preparing for practice before you come in, but at least for me this has helped alot! I'm thinking when we all get on the same page with this new system(?) we'll be able to cut down our practice time drastically. BUT FOR THE ONE LAST TIME: LET'S BE PUNCTUAL!
Because He lives...
