Alleluia!

The children were reminded of how they had buried their Alleluia pictures at the beginning of Lent and remembered how they were sad because the pictures were beautiful and the children had done their best work. But that wasn't the end of the story. They had been promised that something bigger and better would come and were surprised when Mackenzie showed them the Alleluia banner. Later the children surprised Pastor Luther by bringing the banner back into worship with everyone's hands on it showing that Jesus loves us, was raised for us and gives us hands to go out and love all people.

Easter 2 #doubtnodoubt

In spite of all we have heard and all we have seen, it is often hard to believe. Because it is hard to believe, we will invest ourselves in the Easter mystery for fifty days (a week of weeks). Because it is hard to believe, John the evangelist will provide sign after sign celebrating Jesus’ victory over death. Because it is hard to believe, the risen Jesus will return to us again and again in the mystery of holy communion, inviting us to touch and taste his presence, and offering us his peace.
