Refreshed after a relaxing Easter break, I am back at it!  It was great to see my family and good friends again!  Even greater was remembering Jesus Christ’s victory over death!  For this is where we as Christians find our hope!  We can be assured that God’s love knows no bounds and that our sins have been forgiven!  Can I get an AMEN?? Hallelujah!  Haha!  I’ll try not to trip as I step down from the pulpit!  I get so excited when I think of my new home Christ is preparing for me!  I am sure it will be much better than a make-shift apartment/health care center. 

Coming up on a month into my internship!  My, how the time has flown.  This weekend we are hosting a Creative Retreat full of fun scrapbooking, arts n’ crafts, devotions, and worship!  Also, on Saturday, there will be a multi-synod youth gathering at Arrow Wood Resort.  Karl and I are going to lead a few sessions on what it’s like to be a Bible Camp Counselor.  I am pretty excited! 

Here’s your song for the week:

In Christ Alone

By The Newsboys

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

God endured the worst sufferings to show us the greatest Love!  We serve a great and mighty God who loves us!  Happy Easter from Luther Crest!
