Easter is a moveable feast, and falls on a different date each year, but it's always Sunday. Easter is set for the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. It often coincides with Passover, which is based on the Hebrew calendar. Holy Week is the last week of Jesus' earthly life.

If ever that has been driven home in my family personally, it has certainly been with the advent of this new year.

In case you've been wondering why there's been no sewing lessons or Wednesday night Bible study for a while, here's the story. Debbie Tibbs had her scheduled knee replacement surgery on Thursday, January 22nd. At first it seemed like a success, but her recovery was difficult.

A few years ago, First Christian Church lost its music director. We decided to take some time and think through exactly who we needed to look for to flesh out our worship team, and pray about it. Meanwhile, we would keep our eyes out for someone who might join us in that role, but found no one. Rotating volunteers led congregational singing, until Mike Lewis stepped into the job. We decided to designate organist Bobbie Mitchell as music director, and that what we really neede
