This is the day (in the Spring) when there is same amount of daylight as darkness. It's official name is "Vernal Equinox" in the Northen Hemisphere (Vernal =spring, equinox=equal nights). According to infoplease.com "On March 20, 2008, at precisely 1:48 A.M. EDT (March 20, 05:48 Universal Time), the Sun will cross directly over the Earth's equator. " Pretty exciting stuff!
Tomorrow will be a full moon. People that keep track of exact moments of such things say the moon will be full at 18:41 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). http://www.moonphases.info/full_moon_calendar_dates.html
What makes all of this significant for worship is that Easter is always the Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox -which means... (in case it had slipped past you - lol) that THIS Sunday is Easter Sunday! I'll be looking for you in worship at 9:00 or 10:30.
