A Note from Jim:
The writer of Hebrews challenged the early church to embrace the significance of community, recognizing the strength and encouragement they shared within the body of Christ. In Hebrews 10:24-25 he wrote, “Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another…” You may not think of your presence and involvement in Cynthiana Christian Church as motivation and encouragement to others, but when you are present and involved, you are part of a community of believers that work together to share the love of Christ and to do good works in his name. You are important and you are missed whenever you are not present.
Over the next few days, we have opportunity to “motivate one another to acts of love and good works through worship and fellowship opportunities. Thursday evening, we will gather for our Maundy Thursday service. We will share in communion around the table, hear beautiful music from the choir and soloist, pause in quietness to contemplate the sacrifice of Jesus, and share with Baily Caswell as she is baptized. Your presence for this meaningful service will not only be a blessing to you, but also to those around you, and to Baily and her family on this special evening. I hope you will plan to join us at 7:30 in the sanctuary.
This Bunny Blast on Saturday morning will be a fun opportunity to share with our children and their families in a blessed time of fellowship from face-painting, to hunting for eggs, to chocolate…I’m hoping lots of chocolate!! Then Sunday morning our day will begin at 7:30 as our youth lead the sunrise service, followed by breakfast, then Sunday School, and worship. Again, your involvement in this special day will be an encouragement to all as we join our hearts and voices in proclaiming, “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!”
I look forward to spending these special days this week with you. Together, “let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.” I believe you will be blessed, and I know you will be a blessing to others.
