Today in Church History
March 3, 1263: French cardinal, Hugh of St. Cher, dies. He reputedly compiled the first Bible concordance and was the first person to divide the Old and New Testaments into chapters. From Christianity Today
However: the chapter divisions we use today were developed by Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury in the 1200s and the verse divisions we use were by Robert Estienne, a printer/scholar in the 1500s.

Worship Hint for Families
Many believers (and some unbelievers) object to the commercialization and trivialization of Easter in modern culture. Bunnies, eggs, candy and other tokens loom large in the public eye. So what’s wrong with that? Nothing!
Bunnies are cute and cuddly, candy is tasty, eggs are nourishing, pretty clothing is pretty, and Spring is delightful. Enjoy it all!
It just happens that all these cultural delights coincide with an event that is the greatest event in all of history: the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth from the dead. He rose to justify us before God in heaven. Chew on that while you nibble on a hard-boiled egg.
