FIFTY DAYS OF EASTER

One of the things I treasure about the Lutheran church is that we have a calendar that has different seasons through the year. From April 21 to June 9 we will be in the season of Easter. In the secular world Easter is observed for just a day. In the church Easter is celebrated for fifty continuous days. We also celebrate the resurrection of Christ every Sunday.

Coming to faith in God is very important. Sometimes our faith is able to grasp things quickly. In other cases it takes time. The main thing is to come to faith in Jesus Christ and to know His Resurrected Love is alive and well in our lives. Here at Bethany we strive to help every one grow deeper in their faith in Christ. We will have times of doubt. But what a joyful feeling to know that God is active in our lives!
