Alleluia!

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed. Easter morning at St. James was filled with people singing alleluia to our risen Lord Jesus. We hosted the Red Bank Community Sunrise Service this year at 6AM, and the pews were filled with our Christian brothers and sisters from here as well as the Red Bank Methodist and the Red Bank Baptist churches from across the street. Afterwards, we enjoyed an Easter breakfast together. The delicious meal of sausage, eggs, and toast was served by our Lutheran Men in Mission.Then, at 10:30AM, we held a service of Holy Communion, where we welcomed a new member through the waters of baptism. What a glorious Easter morning we shared as we worshipped our Lord and remembered that first Easter day, when Jesus rose up from the dead in victory! Alleluia!
