THE NESTOR BELL

Easter… Lives Transformed!

When we talk to children about Easter, there are many ways we can try to

explain it and bring the point of a new life. We use Easter eggs, the cocoon

picture, a sunrise… you name it!

But even the best way to explain Easter would be meaningless if Easter does not

really impact the way we behave and become “Easter people”. Easter people are

Christians that have been transformed by the power of the Gospel and live a life

that moves our faith into action. That is Easter! The promises, the obedience,

the journey, and God’s faithfulness all came together and had its climax on

Easter morning, and from there people who experienced the Risen Christ in

their lives moved from a passive knowledge to people of action, actively

retelling the story of the resurrected Jesus.

During this Easter season (from here until the day of Pentecost) we will see how

people were transformed after they met the Risen Jesus. From a shameful Peter,

to an angry Saul (Paul), from a kind and graceful woman named Dorcas to a

business owner named Lydia. I invite you to read the book of Acts and look for

the ways different people were transformed in different ways though the

testimony of the Risen Jesus.

Easter transforms lives, and so do congregations!

See you Sunday in church,

Pastor Luis

Two canopies were donated to our church for our picnics. Due to Easter Sunday being a bit chilly and very breezy we haven’t used them yet. “The two canopies were donated by the Greene, Schaffer and Abbott families in memory, honor and thankfulness of the lives of Ronald Greene Sr and Jr. They loved our little church and its members very much! When Big Ron was custodian, we, as a family, spent many hours at our church to get it ready to serve our members. He would love the potlucks then and now, if he were here to join us! Ronnie loved the potlucks get together's because he could drive his wheel chair around and talk with all our members.”
