A lovely time of year, new birth and resurrection of our earth and of course our Lord, Jesus. The flowers, trees and greenery seem to celebrate the acknowledgement of His resurrection from the dead. As we gaze upon the newness of the season, let us be reminded of the new life that Jesus has given to our souls.

Let us celebrate those who publicly acknowledged their need for Jesus, Savior, Lord and King!
