In this Easter season we find ourselves once again re-living the joy of the resurrection and looking for 'resurrection moments' in our own lives as we consider anew what it means to follow in the way of Jesus. Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus we are all on a journey to somewhere, and whether or not we are fully aware of Christ's presence, he is with us as we pursue our calling to be followers of Jesus. In the Sundays between Easter and Pentecost the readings set for us offer accounts of Jesus making himself known to his disciples and we recall those early days, weeks and months when the followers of Jesus began to live into their calling as they developed new communities of people who wanted to follow Christ. 

As we hear and recall those events we join with the early members of the church to consider what all of this means for us today. At Epiphany, one of the ways in which you might like to reflect on the meaning of the resurrection is through a series called Being Christian, which we are starting this coming  Sunday, April 3 at 9:00am. The series will take us through the fifty days of Easter up to Pentecost on  May 15th. Having renewed our baptism vows on Easter Day, the first session will be a discussion on baptism led by Lisa Kimball. This series is open to anyone at any stage of their Christian faith; those who want to go deeper in their walk with God and those who are simply curious to understand better the central tenets of the Christian faith.  Coffee and bagels will be served, so you won't miss breakfast! We'd love to see you at any or all of our conversations, so please make a note in your calendars and join us!

Faithfully,
