Flowering the Cross

This past Easter Sunday, a new tradi-

tion was begun at West Lynchburg

Baptist called Flowering the Cross.

As you can see in this picture, it was simply

a beautiful experience for all and we even

received phone calls from those who don’t

attend church here, about how they

enjoyed the beauty of

it as they drove by the church that day.

Sometimes a church will try to interject a new tradition

here or there and it is rejected before it is even tried or members just don’t hold much value in truly being a part

of it, and it just doesn’t end up going well.

Well, that didn’t happen here. This new tradition was

decided upon just a couple weeks before Easter and look at the resulting beauty of open hearts wanting to glorify

God.

If you were unable to participate in this memorable

experience this year, then hopefully you can plan to be a part of it next Easter. Truly, as the beauty of the flowers

reflects the beauty of Christ’s sacrifice and victory, it also

reflects the beauty of a church body earnest to please God.

The Week at a Glance

You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one’s leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting. … It takes

all one’s strength, and all one’s heart, and all one’s mind, and all one’s soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. —A.J. Gossip

BIBLE QUIZ

After Judas took his own life, the remain-

ing apostles decided someone should take

his place. Two men were suggested as

possibilities: Justus and Matthias. The

disciples placed two stones in a small

box, one representing each man. Some-

one, probably Peter, shook the box until

one stone popped out.

Which person became one of the Twelve?

A. Matthias or B. Justus

See Acts 1:15-26)

(This story has been in here before, but it is worth reading again.)

Mistaken Identity

Two cars waited at a stoplight. When the light turned green, the first driver didn’t notice. The woman behind him pounded her steering wheel and yelled. When the light turned yellow, she honked, made an obscene gesture and cursed. Hearing the commotion, the man looked up and accelerated through the intersection just as the light turned red. The woman ranted at

missing her chance to get through.

Suddenly, she heard a tap on her window and looked up to see a policeman. He told her to get out and place her hands on her car. The bewildered woman was hustled into the patrol

car, booked at the station and placed in a cell.

Eventually, the original officer returned and apologized for the mistake. “I noticed your behav-ior,” he said. “Then I saw the ‘Follow Me to Sunday School’ bumper sticker and the Christian

fish emblem. Naturally, I assumed the car was stolen.”
