Lent/ Easter 2012

Dear Friends,

Peace be with you.  As we listen to the lessons each week during Lent we are constantly reminded that the cross and the resurrection go hand in hand.  One without the other makes the greatest story ever told incomplete: even without meaning.

It is for that reason that the Church walks with Jesus the Way of Calvary beginning with the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday.  We are asked to enter into the journey with Jesus- to experience the pain and suffering and betrayal- to sit with this rejection awhile.  And then we are asked to celebrate the triumph of His risen life over death; victory over the world’s sins; forever achieved for all of us who have faith enough to believe.  Jesus offers all of us hope for a hurting world in this sacrificial act.

We are part of this history.  Jesus died and rose again for you and for me.  Please come and be a part of the retelling of it.  The Holy Week and Easter schedule can be found on the back of this page.

A Most Blessed Easter to you and yours,

Peggy
