Pastor Steve’s Blog April 28, 2019 Well, it’s the Sunday after Easter. In my reading this week, I saw this online article about how you can tell it’s the Sunday after Easter. By the way #1 is not true this year. I am not taking the Sunday off. In fact, I am beginning a great new series on the Gospel of Mark. I hope you had a great Easter. Look forward to seeing you in church as we spend some time at the feet of Jesus as revealed by Mark. “How can you tell it's the Sunday after Easter? By Ken Sehested. Answer #10: There's not a lily in sight. #9: Walgreen's and K&B rotate the Easter candy to the sale tables and bring out the Mother's Day cards and gift ideas. #8: You'll have no trouble finding a seat (even if you're late for worship). #7: You'll have no trouble finding a parking place (even if you're late for worship). #6: There is a very noticeable relaxing of the dress code. #5: The number of visitors drops dramatically. #4: The number of people who look like visitors but are actually church members who haven't been here for a while drops dramatically. #3: Everyone is glad to wait another 12 months before singing "Up From the Grave He Arose." #2: The choir recycles an old anthem. #1: The preacher takes a Sunday off.”
