Christ is risen!

He is risen indeed!

In the liturgical calendar, Easter is not limited to a single day. As our children learn in Godly Play, “Easter is the time we celebrate the mystery that Jesus died and that God made him alive again.” Easter has such significance, that the Easter season covers 7 Sundays each year, taking us to Pentecost Sunday.

Christ is life: Christ is your life

Today is a day to continue our celebration of Jesus, who is alive and gives life to all. Our Scripture readings invite us to live out our faith, choosing to bless those who hurt us, persevering in good even when it costs us and gently giving reason for our hope.
