“Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen
the Lord!’”
- John 20:18
The whole of St. John’s account of the gospel and the whole of Chris-
tian life is transformation and more specifically transformation from
darkness to light, from unbelieving to believing. When Mary Magda-
lene first arrived to the empty tomb she arrived under the cover of dark-
ness (darkness symbolizing unbelief throughout much St. John’s ac-
count of the gospel). Upon discovering the tomb to be empty she runs
away in terror to announce to Peter and “the other disciple” that Jesus’
body has been stolen.
Upon this most disturbing news, Peter and “the other disciple” along
with Mary hurry back to the tomb. Mary did not go into the tomb, but
rather she “stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent
over to look into the tomb’ and she saw two angels in white…” How
often do we stand outside of the tomb weeping? How many of our
friends and neighbors are standing outside weeping over the many
cares and heavy burdens of this dark and lonely world?
The resurrection is not something that can be figured out by plain rea-
son… resurrection is not a logical answer. Apart from faith, when we
look at this world and when we look at death what we see are endings,
“All good things must come to an end,” the saying goes. The party
ends, friends move away, there comes a time in everyone’s life when
it’s time to “hang up the cleats and call it a career.” By plain reason
and natural human understanding the empty tomb looks like the last
verse of Don McLean’s song American Pie, “And the three men I ad-
mire most: the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, they caught the last
train for the coast the day the music died.” Truly ‘The World is Not
Enough’ (to borrow the title of the James Bond Movie). If all there
was to life in this world is what we see, then it would seem to me as
though life is the biggest and most cruel practical joke ever played…
can you imagine if every day was April Fools Day? How could we
live? Our whole lives would be spent watching over our shoulder at
every turn. This is what the empty tomb looks like apart from the
knowledge of and faith in the resurrection: it looks like one big practi-
cal joke… it looks like God abandoning us.
Had Jesus not shown up to call her by name Mary would have continued
in her grief and sorrow. It is not enough to show up and simply “look in
the tomb;” it takes a messenger to reveal the truth of the empty tomb
and we are called to be just that messenger, that angel (the word angel in
the Greek and Hebrew also means ‘messenger’). We as a church, as the
body of Christ on earth, have a job and a mission to do. When we see
people looking into the empty tombs of life, we must be bold to reveal
the resurrected body of Christ to them. It wasn’t until Mary heard the
voice of Jesus calling her by name that her eyes were opened and she
was able to look at the empty tomb through the eyes of faith and she re-
ceived the hope and truth which permitted her to exclaim with a joyful
and jubilant heart, “Rabbouni! (Teacher!)”
God grant you the eyes of faith and a joyful Eastertide.
Your Partner in Ministry,
Pastor Kris
Special Sunday
School Day
Join us during the Sunday School
hour (9:15AM) on Palm Sunday
(April 13th) for a special intergenera-
tional Sunday School class. We will
reenact Jesus’ triumphal entry into the
holy city, have special activities, and an interactive
lesson as we begin Holy Week and make the annual
journey of faith to the cross and tomb of Jesus.
Kristi Hollenbeck and Pastor Kris
Journey The good news is: I had no trouble deciding what to write about this
month. The bad news is: I had no trouble deciding what to write about
this month.
Cindy and I have been introduced to the club no one ever wants to be a
member of. The Cancer Club. Remembering back, 15 or 20 years ago
we took a trip to the Grand Canyon. It was my first time there. When I
walked up to the rim and looked over the edge, it literally took my breath
away and I wanted to hang onto something. Everything stopped and my
mind was frozen. That was the same sensation I felt when the doctor
walked into Cindy's room and said, "this is serious, there is a tumor and it
is malignant." The breath was drawn out of me and I wanted to find
something to hold on to and once again my mind froze. What a scary
word cancer is, if you have had it said to you or someone you love, I
don't need to explain further, if you haven't, it can't be described to you.
There were a lot of things that could have been asked at that point. But
the only one that seemed to matter to us was how do we proceed. The
doctors are assuring us that this is a very curable cancer. Our mind set is
that we are confident that it will be cured. Cindy is half way through the
treatment at this point. She is doing really well. Her spirits are high.
We are so blessed to be surrounded by a family, church family and a
"cancer" family, those who have been though it. You have all embraced
us every step of the way. Your cards, calls, gifts, hugs, smiles, emails and
text messages HAVE made the difference. It is overwhelming, comfort-
ing and oh so humbling to be in the light of your love.
So what's to say about this?
Don't neglect your health screenings. Obviously cancer and other serious
health issues are easier to treat in the earlier stages. Don't be afraid to
take your health concerns to your doctor.
If you end up in the hospital, be nice to everyone that works there. From
the people who take out the trash to the lead doctors, they are people just
like you and me, who want to help you get better and be treated with
kindness and respect.
God gave us to each other to care for each other, to pray for each other
and to love each other as he has loved us. I can't overstate how much we
have appreciated your concern and love this past month. Please continue
to pray for Cindy and all others in need of healing, it does matter.
Love, John
Easton Neighborhood Markets
Immanuel continues to work with the other churches in Easton to supply
food to the neighbors in the Easton Community who are struggling with
their food supply. The Community Food Bank sends us food for over
400 families on the first Tuesday of every month. April 1st we will meet
at noon and start distributing at 1:00PM and finish at 4:00PM. Starting
May 6th we will meet at 1:00PM and start distributing at 2:00PM and
finish at 5:00PM.
What a blessing each distribution allows fellow Christians to work to-
gether serving those in need of the food. The food distributors would
like to thank the Easton Presbyterian Church for purchasing aprons for us
to wear. The crew all match in bright yellow aprons. Sending a special
thank you to Mary Louise Oliver for washing them all for us.
The March food give away served over 2,000 people from 485 house-
holds with 30 volunteers, 9 from St Jude, 7 from Immanuel, 6 from
Easton Presbyterian, 5 from NewLife, and 3 from New Beginnings
Church. Each month our numbers vary but we always have enough help.
Thanks be to God!

ing and support will be provided; some ability to speak everyday con-
versational Spanish is helpful but not required. Please call Betty

Thank You Immanuel
Thank you all for your prayers and cards to my mother, Cecilia Peder-
sen. The cards have brightened up my mom's days. She is continuing to
recover at Palm Village in Reedley.
Thank you for your blessings, Christie Pettitt
Dear Immanuel, just want to say a huge THANK YOU for all your well
wishes during my radiation and chemotherapy sessions. I am humbled by
hearing from so many of you. God bless all of you for being my church
family. You are all important to me, and I thank God for each and every
one of you. So far so good with my treatment, not too many side effects.
My last day of treatment will be a celebration. That's April 8th!!! And we
are praying for and expecting full recovery at that time. But please keep
the prayers and good thoughts coming. We won't know for a while after
treatment ends if it was successful or if we need another round of six more
weeks.
Peace, Cindy Jensen

UCLA Relay for Life
Dear Friends, Family, and Loved Ones,
For the third year in a row, I've decided to be a team captain for Relay
For Life at UCLA! Like most of us, I know too many people whose lives
have been touched by cancer. That’s why I’ve joined with the American
Cancer Society to help save lives by participating in Relay For Life.
At Relay For Life, we celebrate loved ones who have won their battle
against cancer, remember those who are no longer with us, and fight back
against this disease that takes so much from so many. In addition to fund-
ing lifesaving research, every dollar raised helps the American Cancer
Society provide services to cancer patients in need and brings us one step
closer to a cure.
I have joined the American Cancer Society on a mission to save lives and
create a world with more birthdays by participating in the Relay For Life
on April 26th and 27th at UCLA. I am determined to make a difference,
and I hope you will join me. Please, support me in my efforts by visiting
my personal web page by clicking the link below and making a donation.
Every dollar raised brings us one dollar closer to a cure, and to a world
with more birthdays. If you would rather donate with cash or check, that
is greatly appreciated as well! I have listed all of my contact information
below. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. Thank
you in advance for all of your help and support!

Panther Baseball Academy
The mission of the Panther Baseball Academy (PBA) is to pro-
mote the game of baseball to athletes ages 10 -18 in the attend-
ance area of Washington Unified School District including K-8
districts (Washington Colony, Orange Center, Pacific Union and
West Park). The PBA will provide a local and affordable way
for families interested in pursuing opportunities in the game of
baseball. The PBA is not intended to take away from current
baseball programs or any other activities but rather enhance op-
portunities for exposure to our original “National Pastime”.
The PBA will strive to create a positive environment. Listed be-
low are the core outcomes we will strive to attain:
1. Develop and foster positive attitudes and a strong work
ethic.
2. Develop the ability to work as a team member.
3. Develop a respect for self, team and the game of baseball.
4. Develop the attitude of “Pursuing Victory with Honor”.
5. Develop the drive to “Compete”
We believe these core principles can be applied to “life” and will
benefit all of our kids.
The program will begin with clinics on Sundays (grades 4th
through 8th, 12:30pm – 2:00pm) beginning March 23nd at
Washington Union Varsity baseball field. The clinics are free
of charge!
Our goal is to expand the clinic schedule in late April/early May
with the possibilities of putting some teams together for tourna-
ments in June and July (depending on level on interest at each
age group).

is greatly appreciated as well! I have listed all of my contact information
below. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. Thank
you!
