Happy Easter! Christ is Risen! Alleluia!

At Christ the Redeemer, Tulsa, Oklahoma we had a beautiful, inspirational day of worship and a fun day of family activities. We got to see children and grandchildren of our friends who came to town to visit. So many cute babies and kids dressed in their best! Lots of visitors and members who can’t come every Sunday. I pray you had a great day, as well.

I got to thinking. Maybe I should pick one of the visitors and write a note to them telling them that their attendance added to the joy of my worship. Nothing long or theological, just a “glad you came and worshiped” kind of note. I think I will do that!

What if all of us, Lutheran Women in Mission, took it as our mission this week to write a note to a visitor from Easter services? That would be thousands of people contacted even if we all wrote just one. You could ask your church office for the name and address of someone who came. If you saw someone you know, but who has been coming infrequently, you could write them.

If you have some Mustard Seed Devotions, put one in the note. Let’s see if we can contact thousands of people who were in our churches visiting this Easter Sunday!

We are heading out to Los Angeles tomorrow for the week to visit our son. I’m going to write my note now! Don’t wait, write yours as soon as you read this!

Now, shall I write with purple ink?
