Alleluia! He is risen!Happy Easter, everybody! To those of us brought up [properly] in the so-called "high church" or liturgical traditions, Easter is not a single day, but a 50-day season of the Church year, ending with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. So, welcome to the first week of Easter. Our Lord is risen! The world is changed - utterly. Let's celebrate!
We have something else to celebrate this Sunday: after a Lenten season (through Easter Sunday) spent with our sisters and brothers at New Hope Fellowship, this Sunday we return to our customary digs at
Jammin' Java (10am) for our first Common Table-led worship service since Lent began. It will be a little like a homecoming, so we'll explore themes of "Home" together as we begin to wonder what God might have been up to in our Lenten journey with New Hope, and what God might be leading us to now. If you haven't done so yet, you might want to check out our
Lenten blog to see what some of us have shared about our experience of that season this year.
And that's all I know. Please join us as we begin this season of hope, life, and beauty!
Peace,
Mike Croghan
