All are invited to the 9:00 AM Coffee Hour to follow the 8AM service this Sunday.

We will meet in the Meeting Room. 10AMers join us prior to worship! We will be serving freshly-baked quiche, bacon, fresh fruit with yogurt and granola, coffee cake and Patsy's Famous Lambcake (or as Christine Ranhosky likes to say: "The Lamb of God will be present" J), as well as coffee, tea and juice.

From this past Sunday's Easter sermon. . .

A searing image from the recent March for Our Lives rally in Washington, D.C., was that of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student, Emma González. She addressed the crowd briefly, and then she stood silent for six minutes and twenty seconds: the time it took Nikolas Cruz to commit the massacre at her high school. Emma's emotions were evident, as a few tears trickled down her face. Yet, the silence itself may have been the most moving part of her speech. To read more, click here. . .

For Further Reflection. . .

Very nice Easter reflection by Richard Rohr: Human Bodies

The risen Christ is the standing icon of humanity in its full and final destiny. He is the pledge and guarantee of what God will do with all our crucifixions. At last we can meaningfully live with hope.
