Easter Sunday

We have just completed a journey through Holy Week and the Paschal Triduum.

Alleluia! Christ is risen!
And remains risen in the hearts of all believers.

I gathered early this morning on our front lawn at the grave of the founding pastor - an interfaith sunrise service. Admittedly, I am still somewhat uncomfortable at these gatherings. Maybe it's because they are so informal and we celebrate somewhat more formally. But I noticed the enthusiasm among the folks - an enthusiasm brought about by an event that took place 2000 years ago and continues to touch our lives.

I welcome all those who attend church today - no matter what your faith-heritage is. You are there, they are there because a Man overcame the powers of darkness, death and sin.
That man, Jesus Christ, challenges us to do the same.

Whatever clouds have come into your life at this time, be not afraid! Fear, in the end, is destructive. Look what the Apostles were able to do once they overcame their fear.

Happy Easter to my readers!
What a glorious week it has been.
