Easter is a Savored Moment
by Pastor Tim White
Easter is a savored moment for me this year especially!
“Up from the Grave He Arose.” “Christ the Lord is Risen Today!” “I Can See!” Great songs from Easter and so many fond memories over the years. This Easter 2021 is going to be very, very, very special!
It will be the first time we have met together in-person as a church in over a year. Last year’s on-line Easter reached over 15,000 people - I don’t know if it was because society was shut down from the pandemic or some other reason. At Christmas we had over 20,000 viewers online. Wow! Still a mystery.
This year our drive-in service on top of the hill will be safe from any spread of the virus and what a great moment to wave and honk at each other. The former lead-singer of Santana and a gospel singing legend in his own right, Leon Patillo, will be there at the release of his new album. He will sing one of my favorites “I Can See!” following a dramatic monologue by Raymond Burke called: “On the Road to Emmaus”. Our spines are going to tingle. But that’s only part of the 60 minutes of incredible inspiration. Elliot has a really cool band to lead us in uplifting songs of worship. And I can’t wait to hear Rhonda play on the keyboard some of our favorite hymns of Easter. You will get to see the gang: Pastor Michael Fernandez, Pastor Jackie White, Pastor David and Carol Gerzsenye, Youth leaders Jared and Rianna Gallardo, and, it would not be Easter, without Rich and Linda Skinner saying “Happy Easter” together.
I really hope you can be there at 11:00 am on the top of the hill for our first drive-in worship, because it makes it so much better to have you there with us. But if you can’t make you can’t make it, please join us on YouTube Live, Facebook Live, the church website www.wacathedral.org, on our WaCathedral App, or any of the other places we are on the World Wide Web. It would be great if you could repost our Easter advertisement and invite your friends. God is going to surprise us with hope this Easter 2021. Please join us.
Streaming on-line services at 10:30am, 2:00pm and 5:00pm on Easter Sunday and of course you can replay it or send it to anyone throughout the week.
Your friend for the rest of my life,
Pastor Tim White
