Easter Joy

Happy Easter from the Western North Carolina Conference Lay Organization to YOU!

Without Easter (By Joanna Fuchs)

Without Easter,
there would be no hope of heaven.
Without the hope of heaven,
there would be no repentance,
no personal transformation,
no attempt to follow biblical principles.
Without Easter, the world would be in chaos and darkness.
Jesus’ death and resurrection means we can be reborn,
to live better, to do better, to shine light into the shadows.
Hallelujah!

May God bless your home with the warmth of His Peace, Your Hearts with the wonder of His Love and your life with the beauty of His Joy.

We look forward to your attendance at the 2015 Jack and Jill Extrava-ganza: “A Showcasing of the Arts” on April 11, 2015 at St. James A.M.E. Church, Winston-Salem, NC at 12 Noon.

Thank you for your willingness to serve!

Easter Joy
