As Pride month begins, save the date for a gathering commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1976 General Convention resolution declaring that LGBTQ+ people have a full and equal claim to the pastoral care and support of The Episcopal Church. The event, “Full and Equal: 50 Years in Pursuit of a Promise,” will celebrate progress and acknowledge the work that remains.

The three-day gathering, held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sept. 3-5, will include storytelling coaching, workshops, a banquet, and a Eucharist featuring Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe as presider and Bishop Gene Robinson as preacher. Spanish-language interpretation will be available.

More registration details will follow. Please save the date and help spread the word.

If you heard my sermon on Sunday, remember our call to bring the spirit of ceaseless, sacrificial love with us out into the world. Like a mother giving up her pretzel knot for twenty years to bring her daughter joy… This photo was taken today. Sally let me have the knot 🥰 -Rev. Jen

Christ is risen! Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, the cornerstone of Christian faith, symbolising new life and hope for all believers.​

After the silence of Holy Saturday, Easter proclaims that death does not have the final word. The stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty, and grief is met with hope. Easter does not deny the reality of suffering, but declares that God’s life is stronger still. In the resurrection of Christ, God opens a future marked by forgiveness, renewal and joy.

Bible reading: John 20:1-9

'Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed.'

Prayer

God of life,
we praise you for the resurrection of your Son
and for the hope that cannot be overcome.
Raise us to new life with Christ,
that we may walk in joy, courage and love.
Send us out as witnesses to your grace,
bearing signs of resurrection in a wounded world.

Amen.
