Rejoice!

The psalm sets the tone this day: “Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sin is put away!” Happy are those who have “become the righteousness of God” in the merits of Christ Jesus. Happy are those for whom the forgiveness of God has “rolled away . . . the disgrace” of former times. Happy is the father at the return of his prodigal son. Happy are we that our sins are forgiven for Jesus’ sake. Rejoice!

Saturday, March 30; 3:00-6:00 pm

Pastor Zelle will be leading child-appropriate instruction on Holy Communion. She will be using a resource called “A Place For You” which is both simple and profound, and can help anyone grow in their faith and understanding of this sacrament. Attendees will also help make bread for use in the next day’s worship.
