Easter Events

When the NCAA tournament started I wanted anyone to win it but Duke or North Carolina. Unfortunately North Carolina won it. They had the best team with the best talent. I just hate to see them win. Maybe the new UK coach will get us back into the hunt. It has been a while since we had a good team to root for.

Yesterday was opening day for baseball. It is one of my favorite days of the year. It means the beginning of spring and the coming of summer. I am a Cincinnati Reds fan. Of course they lost yesterday, but I am an optimist. I think they are going to surprise some people and make they playoffs this year. I think they have a better pitching staff.

We had our deacon meeting last night. One of the items we voted on was to bring on a summer intern. It is a great deal for the church because it does not cause the church anything. We provide housing, meals, and take up a love offering at the end of the year. The church gets some free labor and the student gets ministry experience. Fortunately I know a couple of students at CBC and one of them does not have a summer job! But I hope this is a program we begin and have every year. I think it gives our church an opportunity to invest in the next generation.
I am looking forward to Easter. We have the Easter Egg hunt on Saturday beginning at 1:00 p.m., Easter breakfast on Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m., and then our Easter Celebration at 10:30 a.m. with Communion. It is going to be a great day.
