Happenings at Bear Creek

Note from Pastor Bob

We are Easter people!

We have seen the empty tomb.

We have seen the discarded burial linens.

We have heard and believed the witness of the women who spoke with Jesus outside the tomb on that early morning.

And because of that news, our lives are forever changed!

Death has been swallowed up in the victory of Jesus’ resurrection.  The powers of sin and death that tried to dominate human beings have been defeated by Christ, the sinless lamb of God, who died to take away the sins of the world.

May our lives be forever changed out of the gratitude and thanksgiving that replace the emptiness and sorrow that once filled us.

We are set free.  Free to live new lives!

So Rejoice!  Be glad!  Jesus Christ has risen from the dead.  Death has no more dominion over him:  Death has no more dominion over us.  Alleluia!  Thanks be to God!

Council Corner

We will celebrate Bear Creek 170th Anniversary this summer, more information to come in the May Newsletter. 

Confirmation this year will be Sunday May 3rd, instead of reading Faith Statements during the service, the congregation is invited after church to the basement for a display put on by the Confirmation Students.  You are welcome to come visit and get to know about their Confirmation Journey.
