Beloved of God,
Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Easter is not just a day - it is a whole 50-day season! 50 days to focus on our new life in Christ Jesus.
One way to spend time focusing on new life is by connecting with folks outside of our usual circle. I wanted to share with you a few connections today.
+ I invite you to watch the uplifting Easter greeting from our Presiding Bishop, Rev. Elizabeth Eaton
here.
+ Read the Easter Monday greeting from our Bishop, Rev. Patricia Lull
here.
+ You can read about our partner parishes in Mtera and Migoli, Tanzania
here.
Also, many of us are receiving our stimulus checks in the mail. If you find that your household is not in need right now, consider sharing it with those who are. Here are some donation options:
Peace,
Pastor Sarah

NURSES CORNER
We are blessed to have knowledgeable and caring nurses in our congregation! They have some words of advice for us:
If you are suffering from a health emergency or have a medical problem that you would normally see a provider for, please continue to seek health care for your concerns. Do not let your fear of contracting Covid-19 prevent you from seeking necessary care. The hospitals, urgent cares, and clinics are going above and beyond to keep everyone safe. When in doubt, contact your clinic or nurse line and they can help you navigate the best course of action.
~ Joanna, Jan, and Jaime
Remember to pray for these nurses and all those on the front lines fighting the corona virus.
