Men's and Women's Discussion Groups
Easter is almost here! We've spent five weeks of Lent and one Holy Week to get there. The question that pops up after Easter Sunday is this: now what?
Here is an essay by Karl Niebuhr (an American Reformed theologian, ethicist, commentator on politics and public affairs, and professor at Union Theological Seminary for more than 30 years). It was written in 1927. And, I think it has something to say to us today about the now-what of the empty tomb and Easter season. I'd like to know what you think.
For those in person, I'll have the coffee ready. For those on Zoom, here's the link: https://zoom.us/j/5955701807

Risen
I made a card for people to take home as a reminder of Easter Sunday 2025. It has a blooming amaryllis – complete with the dark brown bulb, the green stalk, and the red and while blossoming flower. The message on Easter is that some of the hardest times in life produce the most transforming, rewarding, and uplifting experiences. The hard times are represented in the bulb of the amaryllis and Easter lily. The bulb is unattractive and hides underground. When the time is right, the bulb sends a shoot upward and makes a beautiful flower that everyone can see.
Often we suffer in silence.
Most people are unaware, or could care less, about what is troubling you.
But God cares.
In creation, God takes something ugly, like the bulb, and makes something wonderful, like the lily. If God cares that much about a bulb and flower, imagine how much more God cares about you!
In the past five years, we have suffered through Covid, polarizing political cycles, and, for us on Longboat, the worst hurricane season in recorded history. Yet, we are still here.
We have deepened our faith.
We are living examples of hope and neighborly love.
In the end, it all comes down to faith, hope and love. The greatest of these is love.
God is the source of all love because God is love.
No matter what bulbs you have hidden deep in the earth of your disappointments and doubts, God is creating new life in you.
You are risen. Amen and alleluia!
- Fr. Dave
