This Sunday is the fourth Sunday in the season of Easter.Pastor Greg Thompson reminds us of the significance this season holds for the Christian,“This is the time when the church around the world joins together, having longed for Jesus’ coming in Advent, celebrated his coming at Christmas, benefited from his ministry during epiphany, and entered into his suffering and death during lent, now we get to celebrate his resurrection together. It is the great season. We are an Easter people and now we get to contemplate what is really the very heart of the Christian faith which is the resurrection of Jesus.”For us at Redeemer, three things are converging in this season: our celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus, our current study of the Gospel of Luke, and a period of officer nominations for our church, more elders and deacons, that are needed desperately to serve and care for the Redeemer community.In our passage for this Sunday Jesus calls his first disciples. Jesus is founding a new community that will now and forever be centered around him. For this new community to thrive it needs new shepherds to serve and lead. To prepare for Sunday read and pray through Luke 5:1-11.Also find some time this weekend to download and read the officer nomination document from the link below. Read through the document and consider whom you might nominate for elder or deacon. The nominating period opens on May 1st and closes on May 15th.It is the season of Resurrection! Rejoice in it!Pastor David
