As Followers of the Way, we are a people who rejoice in new life won by Jesus Christ. In reality we are an Easter People. As we gather this Easter Sunday in prayer and celebration, our hearts joyfully shout Alleluia! Jesus Christ is risen! We are the stewards of the Easter Alleluia.
As earthen vessels, we hold the precious treasures of new life and faith. The new life in Jesus Christ has been given to us through the living waters of baptism; and faith that offers our lives meaning and purpose. Both are gifts from God who did not spare His only Son to show us the depth of His commitment and love for us.
As we celebrate these gifts during this Easter Season we are called to be messengers of God’s peace, forgiveness, and hope. Each day we have opportunities to carry this message to others in our homes, work places, schools, and neighborhoods. We can rely on God to give us the courage and strength to persevere in this mission. Together, as God’s people, we can also encourage and nurture one another by our acts of love and acts of service.
On behalf of our entire staff, I wish all the people of our faith community a Blessed Easter. I pray that our Risen Lord will continue to touch your hearts with peace, joy, and love. Celebrate well. Rejoice heartily. Be faithful stewards of the Easter Alleluia!
Father John
