As we head into Easter weekend, remember the symbolism of the dogwood tree, which can be seen blooming across our state. 🌸

Legend states that the dogwood tree symbolizes the death and resurrection of Jesus in many ways. First, the bracts (aka petals) form a cross shape with indentions on the ends, representing the cross and the nails that pierced Jesus' hands. Second, the red marks on the end of the petals symbolize Jesus' blood that was shed. Finally, the tight grouping in the center of the flowers represents the crown of thorns.

No matter how you celebrate Easter this weekend, be sure to look around and enjoy the beauty of these flowers!

Easter reminds us: what looks like the end is often the quiet beginning of God’s greatest work. When darkness fell and hope seemed gone, Heaven was already preparing resurrection. 🙌 “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen.” — Luke 24:5–6
Take a Mindful Moment:
Take three slow breaths. With each breath, release something that feels buried, broken, or unfinished. On the third breath, whisper: “God is still working.”
Jesus, thank You for meeting us in the silence between despair and hope. When we can’t see the miracle yet, help us trust Your timing. Teach us to wait with faith, knowing resurrection is never late. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏

There will be no service again this Sunday, February 1st, due to the snow, obviously. Please use this time to read God’s word and reflect on his mercy, grace and blessings with your family on this beautiful snowy day. We miss our church family and will plan on returning to His house next Sunday, Lord willing! God is good, all the time, praise His Holy name! 🙌🙏❤️
