Pastor's Perspective

In our Opening Prayer this Easter we pray:

“God our Father,
by raising Christ your Son
you conquered the power of death
and opened for us the way to eternal life. 
Let our celebration today
raise us up and renew our lives.”

The resurrection is a mystery which we can never understand but only believe – it takes us beyond all that is familiar to us to a realm where God’s glory and power lifts us up to share the risen life of Christ.

“This is the day the Lord has made ~
Let us be glad and rejoice.”

Alleluia!


A Special Thank You ~
The Liturgies of Holy Week and Easter have been a great joy to celebrate.  I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our Liturgy Committee, led by Kathy Reinhardt, Staff, Chrisanne Yule, our Music Director, Choir & Musicians, Readers, Servers, Ushers, Eucharistic Ministers and Flower People Elaine King and Christine Chapman and Erin Reinhardt and Karen Casper for compiling our Triduum booklets.  You are all wonderful and generous stewards - sharing so much of your time and talent to help us pray in faith and joy!

Fr. Chuck
