The Real Resurrection!

Last year millions of Americans watched "The Bible" mini-series. This year millions are watching "Noah" "Son of God" "Resurrection" and "Heaven is for Real". Even though Hollywood's depiction is not always factual, they do have people talking about the tenets of the Christian faith.

Spiritually speaking, this is an open door for us to talk about our faith. We can answer or find answers to questions our family, friends, neighbors and co-workers may have. Based on those conversations it's easy to know if people are connected to a church. If they do not have a church home then invite them to Cornerstone where they can celebrate the REAL Resurrection. Many people are waiting on someone to invite them to church, especially for Easter.

Tonight we will have a special service centered around Judas, often called "The Betrayer". Of all life's pains, betrayal is one of the deepest wounds we suffer. The last part of the service will provide an opportunity for forgiveness and healing. Both the betrayer and the betrayed carry wounds. Come and lay down your burden and allow your heart to heal.

Thursday night is the Jason and DeMarco Concert. We are so blessed to have them with us during this Holy Week. The concert is free and a love offering will be received. Also they will have merchandise available for purchase. Let's come out and support their ministry. This is another great opportunity to invite someone to join you. Who doesn't enjoy great music?

Friday night is one of my favorite services. We will gather inside to hear the story once again. This year six characters who were there will tell the story. You will have an opportunity to be anointed with oil by Mary, have your hand washed by Peter, and receive Communion from Judas. There will also be gifts from Mary, the mother of Jesus, the Centurion soldier, and a candle from Salome, who will lead us from the sanctuary to outside. There will be a display of the cross. You are invited to place candles, flowers, notes and other mementos at the foot of the cross. Music will be played and chairs will be available for you to spend time at the cross.

Sunday at 10:00am is the children's egg hunt. The lawn cross will be full of lilies and flowers to remind us that Jesus rose from the dead! Jesus is the REAL Resurrection and Life!! And in Christ we have victory over death!!! Don't miss out on the event that stopped the clock and reset the calendar, the death and resurrection of Jesus.
