Messiah celebrates Easter on Sunday, April 20th with identical Divine Services at 7:30 & 10:00 am. The 10:00 am service is scheduled to be livestreamed at www.youtube.com/messiahgr, our website and our Facebook page. Our annual Easter breakfast will be held between services.

Putrid death mutes joy & gladness. And yet the sound of weeping & the cry of distress will be no more in the wake of resurrection. Christ is alive. Death is destroyed. There is no stench of death at the morning tomb, no need for embalming spices, but only bold confession, “He is not here, but has risen.” Stymied & uncertain, Peter inspects an empty tomb. Where death no longer reigns, exceeding marvel, comfort & joy flourish. (Isaiah 65:17-25; 1 Corinthians 15:19-26; Luke 24:1-12)
