Although today may not be filled with the glorious gatherings, delicious brunches, and family Easter egg hunts we're accustomed to, Jesus Christ has still conquered the grave, and no virus, cancellations, or any circumstance can change that.
Let us rejoice in this most important day! Try to find joy in the small blessings--the sunshine and blooming flowers--and also in the hope we have knowing our Savior has conquered death.
Our church is praying for you, and we look forward to gathering together again soon!
"He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said." - Matthew 28:6
