Easter has come and gone, but the Celebration 

is not over!                                            

The Season of Eastertide has begun!  Eastertide is the time right after Easter Sunday that lasts for 50 days and ends the day before Pentecost.  Easter Sunday is a huge celebration day as Jesus was resurrected from the dead, but that was not the end of the story!  Many things happened that are also important during this time.   Jesus walks, talks and eats with his disciples in his resurrected body as written in Luke 24.  Forty days after his resurrection, (Luke 24, Acts 1:3) Jesus ascends to heaven but promises to send an Advocate.  This is known as Ascention Day.  Ten days after Jesus’ ascention, the Holy Spirit descends on the believers while Peter is preaching in Jerusalem (Acts 2).             These important events fulfill scripture as Jesus had told the Disciples what would happen in the days of his arrest, trial, death, resurrection, ascention and the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Unsure of what the future holds?  Struggling with day to day living?  Stressed by the news locally and worldwide? Feel lonely and out of touch with family and friends?  Do you long for a way to gain ground and be centered somehow? Jesus said…”Come to me all of you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”  Many individuals and couples have come through the doors of First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) from other churches and all walks of life.  They are amazed as they walk through the door to be warmly greeted with a smile, handshake or a hug and feel “at home” for the first time in way too long.  Jesus was all about having relationships.  He started one-on-one with each Disciple…calling them to follow Him.  We believe that relationships are important too.  We would love to make your acquaintance.      Discover the Disciples Difference!
