"The Hope Of Eastertide"
by the Reverend Deborah A. Lee
In the New York Times best-selling book Searching for Sunday: Loving, Leaving and Finding the Church, author Rachel Held Evans wrote: “We could not become like God, so God became like us. God showed us how to heal instead of kill, how to mend instead of destroy, how to love instead of hate, how to live instead of long for more. When we nailed God to a tree, God forgave. And when we buried God in the ground, God got up.”
God got up.

"God just gives, to us, to you and me. I mean, look at us! Yikes. God keeps giving, forgiving, and inviting us back."
—Anne Lamott, "Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers"
Giving back to the one who first gave is an act of faith and selfless generosity. It is that generosity that enable us to do the work we do in the service of God. We are so very grateful for your faith in the work we do.
