				What is so significant about this time of year? In the church 
				year it is the beginning of Lent. Jesus spent forty days in the 
				wilderness which was the beginning of events to come. Then it 
				was to be many events that led up to the resurrection of Jesus 
				from the grave. A victory that all mankind can be thankful for.
				
				A few years ago I was privileged to visit the Holy Land. There 
				with the scripture one can be as if you were in 3D. Reading the 
				scripture and being right there when Easter took place. Realism 
				sets in like never before. There is some different thought as to 
				where the grave was but for sure the two chosen sites were both 
				empty.
				
				We can be thankful for God’s grace and Christ’s sacrifice. We 
				are ALL recipients. This time of year we study the scriptures 
				that lead to Easter and those words that make us aware of His 
				goodness and mercy. 
				
				If you are in our area any Sunday we invite you to stop in at 
				Middletown United Methodist Church. Service is at 9 AM and
