I'm a little Surprised

I'm a little surprised that more people aren't talking about celebrating the resurrection of Christ at Sunrise services... chatting about where they will be...

We should be spreading the word that "HE LIVES" and celebrating this more than Christmas....

Agreed?

Agreed. People were talking about how much they were going to spend or had spent at Christmas. When you come right down to it the high cost of Christmas is actually Easter. How much more can you pay than your life? And to give it no less? That just overwhelms me.

His present to me is so awesome....

I am so totally affected by it every single day....

I'm going to read the resurrection story at the beach at Sunrise on Easter. I talked to a couple of my favorite preachers but they are busy.... I gues they have a large flock to tend to....

Being a Baptist tho... with a good Bible of my own... I can hold a Celebration anyway....


I love what you said.... I feel a real obligation to celebrate.... I serve a Risen Christ...

If you decide on attending one, LPUMC has one down at Point Lookout every year.

Like I said... there will be a scripture reading and some singing here at Seahorse Beach at Sunrise Easter Morning... coffee and donuts at the clubhouse afterward...

Pastor Hancock for Southern Calvert use to hold one here every year .....

I think political correctness has kept some of us from stepping out before... but I have the Board's permission and I'm Activities Liaison this year... so reading scripture and singing songs will happen...

Why don't you join me this year at Seahorse Beach?

Why aren't people talking about Easter Sunday Celebration in this forum?

Repost this in another forum under "What's everybody doing for Easter?" and watch it go wild. I don't know. Maybe nobody wants to risk conflict even though there isn't supposed to be anymore flaming in this forum anymore.

You know...

The forum name is Religion... I see lots of talk about far fetched ideas and what tv or on line preacher is better or wrong.... but I don't see anyone just praising Him...

But all of us Christians have been told to do only a couple of things... one of them is to spread the word of the resurrection of Christ.

Now I think it's nice that some of the churches are having services... that is awesome... there are none in Southern Calvert County that I can find...

Also... there are a lot of people who don't want to be a part of a church but they are Christians... those are the ones that would be looking for a place to celebrate the best Gift ever given....

I wanted to add.... your reponse [godsbutterfly] shows you have a real heart for the Lord... and I thank you for showing that there are sisters in Chist here....

Agreed?
Celebrating something that allegedly happened on Dec 25th seems a lot less pagan/druid than a celebration on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox
