Holy Week was a wonderful, memorable, spiritually rewarding time for us all at PCMK.  It started with the joyful procession of Palm Sunday, moved through the reflection of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, and then erupted in the joy of Easter morning.

We are blessed at PCMK in so many ways.  We have children all over the place; and Easter without children just isn't the same.  We have fabulous music; and Sunday had many highlights from the prelude, to the hymns, anthems and the Hallelujah chorus.  We are blessed to  have a great fellowship team who show hospitality with such style!  And, oh yes, there was a sermon which I found a blessing to prepare.  I preached it to an empty sanctuary on Saturday night to get out the jitters, and I found myself listening to the message more than usual.  He is risen, just as he said.  He has gone on ahead to Galilee, go find him there.  The message for me is that we need to go find the risen Jesus in places of ministry in our "Galilees."

The joy of Easter was made even more special with a surprise visit with dear friends from Erie, PA. We had a great lunch together on a beautiful Spring day.  It doesn't get much better than this (except to include our own children who were not able to be home for Easter).

Easter is the highlight of the church year, but there are many more exciting things to come in the weeks and months ahead at PCMK.  It starts with the Rev. Dr. Susan Andrews as our guest preacher this Sunday.  We are blessed to have her with us as she is just weeks away from her retirement as our General Presbyter.

We are blessed in so many ways, and the hope of Easter is at the top of the list!

See you in church,

Pastor Dale
