D ear Friends in Christ,

Grace and peace to you, in the Name of our risen Lord Jesus Christ!
 
As we again enter this holy Season of celebration of his victory over sin and death, I pray that we all will   be helped to live more completely in the power of his Resurrection. 
 
In times like our own, this world, our communities, and our congregations need to be shown more emphatically  that there is no power greater than the power of God's love, and that, in the risen Christ, that power will be victorious. 

May our worship and work together make us more effective witnesses of that reality.
 
God bless you generously this Easter.
 
Yours in the love of Christ,
