Spend This Easter With Us!



Easter

There's hope for the hopeless
And all those who've strayed
Come sit at the table
Come taste the grace
 David Crowder - Come As You Are  

Jesus presented us with an idea of faith that is revolutionary! 

One of the most extraordinary that he did was to predict his own death, his own burial and his own resurrection. Then in front of the people who knew him best, 


and the people who hated him most
in the most public way possible 
he was brutally killed. 

But the story doesn't end there...

Three days later, as predicted, he rose from the dead and was present with the very people who had watched him die. 

This is what we celebrate at Easter!

The night before his death Jesus shared an intimate meal with some of his closest friends. During that meal he used 


simple loaf of bread 
and a glass of wine 

to illustrate the world changing effect that would result from his death and resurrection. 

Over the years, like most significant actions, this breaking of bread has become a religious ritual. We believe it can be more than this!

This year we invite you to join us in celebrating the Lord's Supper. 

We believe that Jesus' intent was
that this was to be an open table

....A place for sinners, 
                       like me and you
                            to celebrate what God has done for them

...Not saintly ceremony 
                 restricted to those who are worthy
...because none of us are worthy 

We feel that Jesus invites us 
to come as we are and experience great grace.

If it has been a long time
      since you have had the Lord's Supper                                        ...You are welcome to come.

If you don't feel worthy
...You are welcome to come.

If you have never shared in the Lord's Supper
...You are welcome to come.

If you have been a follower of Jesus for many years
...You are welcome to come.
