Rev. Mitchell Boone shared the Easter story found in Luke 24:1-12. He talked about preaching on Easter being like telling a joke everybody already knows the ending to, they want you to finish the joke, but you better do a good job telling it. The Easter story is something we celebrate every year, but the reality of Easter often goes back up on the shelf after Easter Sunday, and is kept there until we bring it down again next year. Mitchell encouraged us to embrace Easter each and everyday, even though it doesn't feel like Easter for many today, or other days.
Mitchell received two applauses during this sermon. You'll have to listen to hear why!
