Weekly Check-In - April 19, 2025
"Christ's resurrection inaugurates a new 'we,' a new way of being. It is Christ the head and Christ the body, Christ the shepherd and Christ the sheep, Christ the gardener and Christ the garden, Christ the grain of wheat that falls to the ground and dies and Christ the Eucharist who gives life to all who taste and see. The divine imperative draws all creation to rise with Christ into new creation." -Eduardo Colon-Emeric
Tomorrow is the centerpiece day of celebration of the Christian year. Easter has arrived! I hope you will be able to worship with us and also look forward to sharing in worship with those who join us by watching later in the day on video. Tomorrow we break out the Alleluias that have been missing through the season of Lent! We have a great group of Easter eggs; bring the children in your life to share in this special day of celebration. The new Paschal candle will enter the Sanctuary at the beginning of the service, celebrating the light of the resurrection, and waiting for us to light it throughout the year to keep ever before us the hope of resurrection. There is still time to ask a friend to join us - looking forward to worshiping this Easter Sunday!

The next big calendar item now that we have completed our Lenten journey and are off into the season of Easter, is the Presbyterian Women's Spring Yard Sale. It is the two upcoming weekends, April 25-26 and May 2–3. The hours are 8-2 a.m. EXCEPT ON SATURDAY, MAY 3 WHEN THE HOURS WILL BE 8 - NOON. Much work will happen this week in preparation for the Yard Sale and your help is requested and needed. Help is needed in getting set-up and help is needed each day of the Yard Sale while it is going on. This is a wonderful community event and allows the Presbyterian Women to support our church and also to support many outstanding missions and ministries. I will aim to have information as specific as possible for when to be there during the week to help set-up and will also try to share updates by email so that you will know when the opportunities are there for you to jump in and help out.
Celebrate Life!
