Easter weekend is finally here, full of the many ways in which Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus. A quick walk around the internet shows off the variety of worship practices. With thousands of churches to choose from, here are just a few, from large and small to Catholic and Protestant:
However you celebrate Easter, let it move you. Take the time to get there early. Do some reading in advance so that you know what's coming. Find a decent parking spot. Smile at the people sitting near you. Wish someone a Happy Easter. Pray for someone who looks down.
May the Lord bless your life and that of your family in such a way that your heart leans more fully into the heart of God.
