Happy Easter

Watch our Easter Sunday service online:

HAPPY EASTER!

Hallelujah! Christ is Risen! May blessings of hope and joy abound!


A Sermon Snippet from this week’s service:

That first Easter, when Mary went to the tomb, it was in darkness – the darkness of the night before dawn, but also the darkness of her soul, herself – her terrible grief, her shock that it had come to this; her disbelief; and her questioning of herself as to how it might have turned out differently, or asking herself why hadn’t she understood when he was talking about so many things. And now there was no chance to ask … he was gone.

Until he speaks her name …

And even then, I suspect she didn’t know him fully … didn’t grasp the reality …. Or perhaps the unreality of his Being.

I wonder if Mary (and the others) had a growing awareness, an incremental grasp … like the growing light of day from night to sunrise … we come to understand God/Jesus in new and evolving ways, incremental ways (if we are lucky); we develop new understandings of what it is to live as followers of Jesus, as Christ –ones … those who declare the power of resurrection, of hope over despair, of love over hate. Our discipleship it evolves and grows too over time … if we take it seriously.

The scripture reading for this Easter service is John 19:38-20:18
