This is a special time of year for our church and the Church in general. We are almost through Lent and Easter is almost here. I don’t know if you took on a Lenten discipline this year, but I hope you have prepared yourself in some way. I started working out and every time I feel like throwing up as I run around a track, I remind myself of the good prep work I am doing!

The reason this time of year is special for us is in the attention we give to the whole Easter season. Palm Sunday, April 14, begins with our all-church parade around Shannon Miller Park, complete with bagpipers, robed baptismal candidates and our friends from St. Mary’s Episcopal Church. During our 11:00 worship we witness the baptism of our Pastor’s Class—always a moving time as we celebrate new life with our kids. We continue the celebration with the Pastor’s Class Luncheon and sharing time with parents and children. Although this is a time reserved for just the parents and children, I hope you keep this group in your thoughts and prayers as they share significant time together.

Holy Week continues with Maundy Thursday, April 18, with our Pastor’s Class First Communion. All are invited to this special service as we recognize Jesus’ Last Supper. In the last several years, we have also had a Good Friday service, remembering Jesus’ crucifixion and death. This year we are not having that service, but we are offering a special Good Friday version of our Holy Yoga group. All are invited to attend, as Lauren VanOsdol notes the workout will be appropriate even for beginners to yoga. Join us in the sanctuary as we have a Good Friday meditation, recalling Christ’s time on Calvary. Good Friday is an important precursor to Easter—after all, how can there be resurrection without death?

Finally, our Easter celebration will include our traditional Easter brunch. Good food is a great way to start our day, but the true joy comes in our worship—Christ is Risen! I love our time together and it is the day we get to sing my all-time favorite hymn—Christ the Lord is Risen Today.

As we feel the beauty of spring here in Oklahoma, let us feel the empowering presence of Christ as we celebrate the Resurrection together.

On Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday we will be receiving a special offering to support Week of Compassion and Disciples4Water. There will be special envelopes in the pews where you may designate a gift to one or both ministries. Electronic gifts can be made through the Givelify app, as well. Week of Compassion is the disaster relief arm of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Your gifts show up on the steps of Disciple congregations and members of our congregations when disasters strike. Disciples4Water is a ministry that began at First Christian Church of Edmond and is now supported by Regions and other congregations in our denomination. This ministry drills new water wells in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

"I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete." - John 15:11

This quote caught my eye, “happiness has deep roots in the soil of chance.” Happiness is a delightful guest that appears in our lives when things go our way; we laugh and have fun; and when we experience ourselves as fortunate. But joy has a more expansive quality. We experience joy when we have a sense that there is enough, more than enough, goodness and love to go around.

Do you equate Christianity with joy? The joy we find in following the Way of Jesus provides the power that can change individuals, churches, and communities for good. Being filled with joy doesn’t mean we don’t know the pains of a broken and hurting world. But it does give us inspiration and energy to address needs that we see in our community.

We've designed a four-week sermon series on Joy to explore the dimensions of the Good Life and how joy integrates the dimensions. Consider inviting friends, family, co-workers, or neighbors to experience the joy we share at FCC. The series will be presented through multiple voices and begins Easter and continue through Mother’s Day. Each Sunday we will share the joy of special events, with our spring NEXT 90 vision event falling on week three, Sunday, May 5.

Easter Sunday, April 21 – “The Joy of Good News” – Easter Brunch 8:30am to 11am in Fellowship Hall
Sunday, April 28 – “The Joy We Find Together” – Evoke specialty coffees, breakfast burritos and homemade cinnamon rolls – 8:45 to 11:15am in Fellowship Hall
Sunday, May 5 – “Moments of Joy on the Journey” – Cookie reception celebrating the milestone moment of graduation for our High School seniors; plus, FCC’s Spring NEXT 90 Vision Casting Event - 10 to 11am in Fellowship Hall
Sunday, May 12 – “The Joy of Doing Good, Together” – Muffins with Moms 8:45 to 11:15am in the Rotunda
