Highlights A Monthly Publication of The Bristol Baptist Church View from the Interim Christ is Risen! Alleluia! In the gospel account of Easter Jesus asks Mary, “Why are you weeping?” That is such an excellent question, not only for Mary but for us as well. With such incredible news, that our lord is alive and with us, why do we worry? Why indeed do we fret and worry when hope in underneath everything? Now….if we could just tap into that incredible reservoir of hope! The celebration of the Resurrection gives us a chance to say “Yes! Jesus, I believe!” When we do that…when we say yes to Jesus…we are indeed engaging a resurrection spirit. It is from this spirit that we are called to live. Do you know how to live the resurrection? Come to worship this Easter season and find out. We will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and exploring just how we can live out that resurrection spirit. Blessings to each of you in the Easter season. Lisa Gustafson
