The Power of Easter



Easter has always been a special time of year for Christians. What is it all about? Is it about chocolate? Is it about coloured eggs? Is it about bunnies? Or, is there something more?

True, there are chocolate bunnies and there are coloured eggs -- all part of a variety of ethnic traditions. But, most importantly, there is what Christians call the Miracle of Easter.

What is the miracle of Easter? It is the time of year we particularly remember that Jesus Christ was crucified for our sins and rose again four days later so that we might have eternal life. It is a very special story and we invite people to visit with us to find out more.

For those of you in His Service away from home and in far off countries, know that we are thinking about you at this time.

We have a busy weekend planned for Cornerstone. Here is some of what we are planning to do.

Good Friday: April 6, 10:30am, Worship & Communion Service.
Easter Egg Hunt: Saturday, April 7, 10:00am.
Easter Sunday: April 8, 9:00am, Fellowship, pastries & coffee.
Easter Sunday: April 8, 10:45am, Church Easter Celebration Service.
Easter is a special time. Everyone is welcome to visit with us. If you are in the Niagara-on-the-Lake and Virgil area, just come to the church and someone will meet you at the door.

For friends and relatives who are far away and reading this, we would love to hear from you. Please feel free to send short or long notes about what you are doing. We can then share those with everyone around the globe. You can also send us photos so we can see what you are doing and we can watch your children grow.

Come join us as we look beyond the bunny...to the Miracle of Easter. For further information on the happenings at Cornerstone, just click on the website link.
