Dear Friends,
Easter at Church By The Sea was inspiring! Each service (7:30, 9, and 11) had it's own expression of God's love and grace. The 7:30am service was beautiful as the sun rose and the moon melted away. The 9am service was a large crowd full of excited children who couldn't wait for our butterfly release afterwards and the 11am service was a little more calm and reflective. All three services I hope were encouraging and uplifting. Thank you to our music ministry for drawing us into the presence of God. I hope you all had an amazing and inspiring Easter from waking up to when you went to sleep.
As excited as I was about Easter and celebrating with family and friends Christ's resurrection - my heart was so heavy in regards to the bombing in Sri Lanka! I pray for peace and hope for those people and all of us. Let's all be peacemakers. Have a blessed week and I look forward to seeing you this Sunday in worship. Peace, Love, and Grace.
