He Is Risen

Easter is about full color, bright and big. Resurrection is not subtle or mousy. It's the biggest news for the universe; God raised his dead son back to life and promises to do the same for us who belileve. That's good news! That's great news! The bright altar flowers explode in different directions like fireworks. Standing next to the flowers is the Christ Candle, which was brought out of the sanctuary Friday night, leaving worshipers in the total darkness of death. Now it is back in the sanctuary, tall and lit.
The patio fountain has been converted from a flowing fountain of water to a cascading fountain of bright flowers. It looks like a party. There is nothing but good news here! Christ Is Risen! He Is Risen Indeed!
