Even though there still is a white blanket of snow on the ground Spring is coming! The seasonal change is all around us. The days are getting longer. Soon crocus, daffodils and tulips will arise from their long winter’s sleep. Has anyone seen a robin yet? With spring comes the most celebrated day of the year in the Christian’s life, Easter.

At Bethel we are looking forward to Easter and preparing for the families God will bring our way. “Discover Hope This Easter” is the message we want to share with our friends, families and community. We all know people who need hope–don’t we? We also know that hope placed in Jesus will not disappoint us. Let’s all be prepared for a great Easter 2010. One way is to personally set aside some time to focus on Jesus by praying and reading Scripture. To help, here is a link for a daily reading plan from now to Easter. Also, let’s begin now to pray specifically for this special time when seekers are open to the hope of Jesus.

Each day’s reading consists of a passage from the Gospels and when completed you’ll read the entire account of Jesus’ life, ministry, death, and resurrection. There’s a reading for each day except for Sundays, which you can use to reflect on the previous week’s reading (or get caught up if you’ve fallen behind).

Reading the plan is simple. Just click here and start reading! Check that page each day; the daily reading updates automatically. (You might wish to bookmark that page in your browser to make it easy to return to each day’s reading.)

Let’s believe this Easter to be the greatest yet.

Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Join us tomorrow at 10:15 AM, Pastor Dan’s message: “CRAZY LOVE” What your relationships, home and world need most! 1 Corinthians 13.

Let’s think about our “Bethel friendliness factor” this Sunday when we encounter visitors in our church. The survey reports, the most important factor that makes a place friendly is “making me feel like I belong.” Subsequent factors include “making me feel comfortable” and “at ease,” conversation, smiles and being non-judgmental. Though generally, we do a good job at welcoming people, this may be a good reminder for us to be a little more friendly. Hey, this may even work nice with the folks who are regular attenders.
