Practicing Resurrection
Every year our Senior Bishop Reddick III provides to
the preachers in his Episcopal District the “Disciplines,”
a book of daily devotions published by The Upper
Room. I am appreciative of Bishop Reddick’s gesture as
it is a means for me to focus on the Christian year in my
personal devotional life in addition to enriching my sermon preparation.
The focus for this week’s devotion in the
“Disciplines,” is Practice Resurrection. As I read the devotional for Monday I was led to reflect on how I can be more intentional in living out the
Easter story in my personal life. What are some things I can do better to
reveal the Risen Christ that I profess from Sunday to Sunday to those I have
been called to lead and to others who I encounter on this Christian journey?
The first thing that comes to mind is to truly help persons understand
what it means to be “Easter People.” The Easter story moves far beyond
Jesus getting up from the grave early on Sunday morning. It compels us to
what I like to call faith stretching. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, because of
his unmerited grace that is extended to all who believe, we receive this indescribable gift to practice Resurrection everyday of our lives.
Again, the story does not end with Mary Magdalene discovering the
empty tomb, and finally recognizing her teacher in the garden. No this is
only the beginning of the Easter story. This is why Mary excited and elated
runs to tell the “good news,” to the other disciples. The story continues
with Jesus appearing to the disciples who had gathered in fear behind
locked doors. Jesus says to them,
“Peace be with you.” Upon seeing

From the Pastor’s Desk
(continued)
As I reflect on what it means to Practice
Resurrection, these words of Jesus to the disciples provide the impetus for what we are called
to do as disciples in today’s world. Jesus has
blessed us with his peace and sends us into the
world to be Easter people. A people who believe in the power of Resurrection, a people
who have experienced this indescribable gift of
God’s amazing grace and are witnesses to unbelievable things even in these 21st Century
times.
In practicing Resurrection we are called as
individuals and as the community of believers
to move beyond our locked doors, to move beyond our fears and doubts to reach out as Jesus
did – to stretch our faith – to reach out even
beyond our belief to re-present Christ to a
world desperately in need of peace. Jesus has
sent us. He has empowered us individually
and as the Church with the Holy Spirit to practice Resurrection, to be Easter people, to be his
witnesses to the ends of the earth.
We are in the season of Eastertide. As we
continue the Easter story and move towards
Pentecost, I encourage you to pray that the Holy Spirit will move me and all of us here who
are part of this body, Morning Chapel CME, to
reach out to those who need to know the peace
of Christ, to be witnesses to the Resurrection
and catalysts of justice and hope to our neighbors and all who need to experience the joy to
be found in knowing that Christ Jesus lives today! Peace be with you all!

Dr. Carmichael Crutchfield
By: Shabra Watkins
Morning Chapel was honored to have Dr.
Carmichael Crutchfield, General Secretary of
the Department of Education as our guest for
the weekend of February 21-22.
While Dr. Crutchfield was with us, he had
the opportunity to observe Morning Chapel

our youth, our presenters and be a part of our
learning experiences with our youth. He was
very impressed!
Pastor Ross scheduled with Dr. Crutchfield
a workshop on Leadership. The officers of
Morning Chapel were in attendance to share
his great knowledge. Dr. Crutchfield presented to the Officers “ Transformational Leadership “ by authors Bernard Bass and Ronald
Roggio. He taught in his workshop what the
characteristics of being a Transformation
Leader are: to be energetic, enthusiastic, passionate, concerned and focused on helping
every member on the team or every member
of the church. Everyone in attendance was
inspired and motivated more to become this
type leader.

messenger for morning worship.
It was great weekend of learning, celebrating family and friends, and remembering our

Morning Chapel Host Fort Worth District Ash
Wednesday Services
By: Shabra Watkins
The ceremony of placing blessed ashes on
the foreheads of the participants was held
and hosted by Morning Chapel. Morning
Chapel’s Mass Choir and Music Department
blessed the service in music.
Rev. Linda Barnett brought a powerful
Ash Wednesday sermon to the congregation.
Elder Russell O. Fuller, Rev. Dr. Willa
Ross, our Pastor, and other clergy presented
the ashes and performed the ceremonies. It
was an evening of commemorating and anticipating the resurrection of Jesus with the
Fort Worth District members.
Thank you Morning Chapel for hosting our
guest and showing our great Christian hospitality once again.
Ash Wednesday, a day of fasting, is the
first day of Lent in Western Christianity. It
occurs 46 days (40 fasting days, if you count
the 6 Sundays, which are not days of fast, are
excluded) before Easter and can fall as early
as the 4th of February or as late as the 10th of
March. We celebrated Ash Wednesday this
year on February 18, 2015 at Morning Chapel. The service of Ash Wednesday celebrates
also the 40 days Christ spent fasting in the
dessert where he endured temptation by Satan. Some Christians use this time of Lent to
sacrifice or give up something they enjoy as
a testament of their faith and thanksgiving.

WEATHERING THE STORM: SEVERE WEATHER
If your idea of preparing for severe weather is
stashing an umbrella in the trunk, well, this section is for you. Those who have experienced a
tornado or a flash flood first-hand will tell you
just how serious and devastating severe weather
in North Central Texas can be. The good news
is that most weather can be predicted. The bad
news is that many weather-related deaths still
occur each year in North Central Texas despite
advance warning. The first step to being prepared is realizing that severe weather can happen at any time—and it can happen to you.
Each year, Americans cope with an average
of:
10,000 thunderstorms
2,500 floods
1,000 tornadoes
6 deadly hurricanes
In North Central Texas, from 1996 to 2005:
9 tornadoes per year
207 severe thunderstorm events (large
hail, damaging winds) per year
53 flash flood events per year
Severe Thunderstorm & Lightning
Thunderstorms can be exciting to watch, especially from the safety of your warm, comfy
couch. Besides staying dry, here’s another good
reason to stay inside (and off the phone)—
lightning kills more people each year than tornadoes. Since every thunderstorm produces
lightning, you need to be prepared! Flash floods
and hail are also dangers associated with thunderstorms.
Thunderstorm Facts
In North Central Texas, most thunderstorms happen in the afternoon.
Thunder and lightning can sometimes even
come with a snowstorm!
At any moment in time, over 1,800 thunderstorms are occurring around the
world—that’s 16 million a year!
The typical thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 30
minutes.
Severe Thunderstorm and Lightning
Safety Tips:
If you can hear thunder, you’re close
enough to be struck by lightning—find
safe shelter immediately.
Move to a sturdy building and stay away
from the windows (don’t take shelter in
a shed, under isolated trees or in a convertible vehicle).
If a sturdy shelter is not available, get
inside a hardtop vehicle and keep the
windows up.
Get out of boats and away from water
Unplug appliances and avoid using the
telephone except in an emergency
One one-thousand, two one-thousand, KABOOM! By counting the seconds between
the flash and the thunder and dividing by
five, you can estimate your distance from the
strike (in miles).

Simple Herb-Roasted Chicken
Preparation
Ingredients
•
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as
parsley, sage, rosemary and/or thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
•
2 teaspoons kosher salt
•
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
•
2 4- to 5-pound whole chickens,
giblets removed
•
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a large roasting
pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
Mix herbs, garlic, oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl
to form a paste. Rub the herb mixture all over the
chickens, under the skin and over the breast and thigh
meat. Tie the legs together with kitchen string. Place
the chickens in the prepared pan, breast-side up, preferably not touching each other.
Step 3
Roast the chickens for 45 minutes. Rotate the pan 180
degrees and continue roasting until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, without touching
the bone, registers 165°F, 45 minutes to 1 hour more.
(Be sure to check the temperature of each chicken. One
might be done before the other.) Transfer to a clean cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes before removing the
string and carving
