In keeping with the season of Eastertide, the period of time between Resurrection Sunday and Pentecost, we continue to sing songs with the resurrection theme. The early Christians viewed the event of Christs victory over death as too monumental to be celebrated on only one Sunday! Every Sunday was a little Easter. The joy we all have is sharing the good news of healing and forgiveness and the possibility of a restored relation with the God who made us. The choir anthem today reminds us of that challenge to every person, Do you know your Redeemer? Dont let the opportunity pass to receive or to share that eternal life-giving news! - Dr. Dan Sharp
