1 Living, Loving, and Serving THE MESSENGER April 2018 Methodical Discipleship HE IS RISEN! Happy Easter to you and your family. Do you expect to see Jesus in unexpected places? Mary Magdalene did not expect to see Jesus in the garden on the morning of the resurrection, but he was there and called to her (John 20:11-18). For many people Easter is the routine of egg hunts, candy, bunnies, and holidays at church. Habit of the expected. Habit of going to church on a holiday because that is what their family has always done. They hear the same scriptures, and the same songs that they head the year before. And the year before that. And the year before that. Going back to their childhood. They may not even know to hope for something unexpected. Now, for others, Easter is the routine of church activities. Easter egg hunts, dressing up for church, and family cook outs. Its still a habit, but a habit that gives comfort. Habit of the expected. Habit of going to church on a holiday because that is what their family has always done. They hear the same scriptures, and the same songs that they head the year before. And the year before that. And the year before that. Going back to their childhood. They may not even know to hope for something unexpected. What happens when expectations are not met? What happens when the unexpected shakes us out of our routine? Jesus does the unexpected. Jesus is the unexpected. Appearing to Mary in the graveyard was completely unexpected. We, inside the church, expect it because we have heard it over and over. Every year we celebrate but do we have the shocked joy that Mary had when Jesus called her name in the early morning hour? Resurrection should be a shocking, overwhelming experience! We are transformed when we have a second birth of the Spirit. Our hearts should sing to the Lord in praise and thanksgiving. We should vibrate with the need to share the joy of salvation that comes from knowing the tomb is empty. The knowledge that the world has changed permits us to not go about business as usual. Are you a creature of habit? Is the Easter holiday a habit for you? Is it habit for your family? How do you go about capturing the joy of the Temple curtain being torn asunder? Who have you discussed not longer needing a high priest to intercede with God, for you and other believers? Have you talked about angels telling the women he is not in the tomb? Have you talked about the doubt of all the disciples as well as Thomas? Church Office: (325) , Secretary: diane@elmwoodwestumc.com, Pastor: dare@elmwoodwestumc.com

2 THE MESSENGER PAGE Summer Mission Trip The UMW Garage Sale was a success, even though we had fewer customers than normal. We made over $4,000 and will be able to fund several activities. We would not have been able to do as well, had we not had all the help we had. Our ladies did a great job, and I thank them, everyone! Without the men we would not have been able to have the Garage Sale. Their muscles, imagination and help before, during and after the sale was tremendous! Thank you! Thank you to all of you! Come join us at one of our meeting. Every second Thursday, at noon We have a Potluck and a good program. The date for the 2018 Summer Mission Trip has been scheduled for the week of July 29. If you are interested in this opportunity, please talk to Melissa or Jen. One of the best things about the UMCOR facilities are there are jobs for everyone, no matter your physical ability level or age. The accommodations are very comfortable and food yummy. There is also a free day for sightseeing built into their schedule. Please pray and think about attending this very affordable mission opportunity. Fifth Sunday Hymn Sing Sunday, April 29, we will have a Fifth Sunday Hymn Sing. It will be sometime in the afternoon. This exact time has not been determined. If have a preferred time, speak to Dare or Geoffrey. Psalm 4:8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
