HAPPY EASTER, dear friends!
As a Christian, I celebrate the resurrection of Jesus today. Now, I could share one of the many photos I’ve taken of stained glass windows and other art to illustrate that event. But instead, I’ve chosen a photograph of a bulletin board display.
I spotted this display after attending “The Last Supper Drama” at St. John’s United Church of Christ, Wheeling Township, rural Faribault, on Palm Sunday. There it was, on a wall of the fellowship hall where we gathered for bars (a Minnesota word for sweet treats like brownies), refreshments and conversation.
The message is simple, to the point and relatable with a secular Easter twist. That twist being the sugary marshmallow Peeps loved by some and disliked by others (that would be me; I prefer chocolate).
But I definitely appreciate this clever message done in the mostly pastel hues of Easter. JESUS IS RISEN. TELL YOUR PEEPS.
This would make a great children’s object lesson during an Easter morning worship service. Print the message. Attach to a small box of Peeps and give it to the kiddos with the cautionary warning, “Wait until you get home to eat your Peeps.”
Have a joyful Easter with your peeps, everyone! He is risen! Alleluia!
