Hey Y'all Saints,
Easter is coming, and I cannot get Adele’s song, “Hello From the Other Side” out of my head!
The song as a whole really has nothing to do with Easter, but taken in isolation, the line from which the song takes its title has everything to do with the Feast of the Resurrection. Through the great mystery of Easter, we get a glimpse of life beyond death, life beyond all those moments when we think we’ve met our end and find that against all hope, there is life on the other side. Every broken relationship, every moment of embarrassment, every disappointment: it is in these times and places that Christ’s presence meets us and raises us up to walk in newness of life.
I look forward to journeying with you through these holy days and to greeting you again on the "other side” when Sunday comes.
Peace,
|

The Rev. Zack Nyein
Associate Rector

In the Garden: A Vigil for the City
Saturday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m.
Clara Meer Dock at Piedmont Park
|
|
On Holy Saturday, we will welcome the Resurrection light as it breaks into the darkness of night during our evening vigil. Join us in the midst of our city in Piedmont Park as we unite our hearts to the earliest followers of Jesus in an ancient service of story and song, shadows and light, creatively imagined for our time and place. This is another great opportunity for families to experience a holy night of song and prayer together. You are welcome to bring a tasty treat to share for dessert following the service.
