NOTES

TRADITIONAL WORSHIP

In keeping with the season of Eastertide, the period

of time between Resurrection Sunday and Pentecost,
we continue to sing songs with the resurrection theme.
The early Christians viewed the event of Christs victory
over death as too monumental to be celebrated on
only one Sunday! Every Sunday was a little Easter. The
joy we all have is sharing the good news of healing and
forgiveness and the possibility of a restored relation
with the God who made us. The choir anthem today
reminds us of that challenge to every person, Do you
know your Redeemer? Dont let the opportunity pass
to receive or to share that eternal life-giving news!
