Prairie Avenue Christian Church - Decatur

Prairie Avenue Christian Church - Decatur Prairie Avenue Christian Church welcomes those who are single or married, divorced or engaged, whatever gender identity or sexual orientation. We are, too!

The mission of Prairie Avenue Christian Church is to be learning, loving, and serving disciples of Christ from the depths of our being to the ends of the earth. We welcome the filthy rich, dirt poor, or no Habla inglés. We also welcome those who are crying newborns, old as dirt, skinny as a rail, or could afford to lose a few pounds. We welcome you if you are dressed to the nines or have only the

shirt on your back. We welcome anyone who can sing like Stevie Wonder or who can’t carry a tune in a bucket. You are welcome here if you are just browsing, just woke up, or just got out of jail. We don’t care if you are holier than Swiss cheese or haven’t been in church since your nephew’s baptism twenty years ago. We welcome soccer moms, NASCAR dads, starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, nose-pickers, tax collectors, veterans, vegetarians, and junk-food junkies. If you blew all your offering money at the gaming parlor, you are welcome here. If you are inked, pierced, or both, you are in the right place. If you are in recovery or still addicted, we are happy to see you. We welcome you because we have experienced the thrill of being welcomed by God. We were once a mess, but God willingly welcomed us through the Cross-stretched arms of Jesus. He gave His life so we could experience real life and be part of His forever family. God is delighted to see you here. Welcome to Prairie Avenue Christian Church!

What happened between Good Friday and Sunday? The scriptures of the New Testament are silent. In the time of Jesus' life, there was a developed theology that God would redeem creation and righteous people who suffered injustice in the present age through a resurrection. While later writings would fill in the gap between Friday and Sunday as the time Jesus spent among the dead to redeem them, the New Testament gospels leave us in a despairing pause, waiting for the women to return to a tomb, confident in their expectation to find a tortured co**se to prepare with spices and ointments. No one seemed to expect what was to come. Visit https://www.prairieavenuechristianchurch.org/ for more videos

Whatever the preferred narrative, this day is the one marked as the redemption of the world. The gospel of Mark gives a four-part, detailed recollection of the last day of Jesus by the Romans. What was his death for? For God? For us? And now that the confrontation between Jesus' view and action on behalf of God's kingdom and the temple authorities and their Roman collaborators is at the end, what happens now?
