Holy Humor Sunday

The New Lisbon Presbyterian Church (NLPC), 111 E. Chestnut St., Lisbon, will observe Bright Sunday, or Holy Humor Sunday, during its morning worship April 12 at 10:30 a.m. It is open to the public. The custom of Bright Sunday came from the early church theologians who felt that God had played a practical joke on the devil by raising Jesus from the dead. So the week after Easter, Christians observed “days of joy and laughter.”

“Last year was the first time, to our knowledge, that our church conducted a Bright Sunday service,” said Dr. Frank Lewis, NLPC stated supply pastor. “It had such a positive response, we’re planning a second service.

“We are not being irreverent; we’re simply expressing the joy of the miracle of resurrection and Easter Sunday. It is the Good News of our faith, after all. A happy laugh is like a prayer saying, ‘God is good!'”

For information, call NLPC at 330-424-5107 or email newlisbonpc@gmail.com. The service will also be livestreamed via Facebook and on the NLPC YouTube channel, tinyurl.com/NLPC3.
