from Beth's Desk....

Easter in the Christian calendar is a season rather than a day – from Easter Sunday until the day of Pentecost, we celebrate, observe, remember and reenact the glorious good news of Jesus’ resurrection.

The flowers and birds and bugs and peepers and greening and sunshine and showers of spring in these mountains all point to Jesus’ coming and coming again, that we may be minded and reminded of all that has gone before in order to prepare a place for us at the table of the Lord.

This spring, this resurrection season, may we Easter people enact this glorious good news for neighbors, friends and yes, even enemies, that all may know the good news.

In God’s own peace,

Pastor Beth
