Faith takes a willingness to step forward and risk something new. Living faith isn't static or rooted to one place: it's moving, growing, changing.

Like seeds when they start to germinate, we also experience times of breaking as we grow. Old ideas and ways of being no longer work and constrain us. Growing in faith means pushing through the discomfort and living in uncertainty. It’s a sense of letting go, of loss and grief for what was.

Faith isn’t about denying our heartache at this transformation, but rather discovering within it a chance to reach out to God in new ways and to allow God’s comfort to nourish us for what comes next.

We are grateful to be Growing in Faith together!

What new thing is God doing in your life? Where is beauty springing forth?

Do not be afraid.

Christ reminds us that being an Easter people, living as disciples of the Risen One will not always be easy.

Confrontation with the values of Empire never is.

Choosing peace in a world of war never is.

Breaking bread with those who may betray us never is.

Erasing lines of division as others race to draw more of them is not easy.

But do not be afraid.

You know what this new life means and you know what this new life can do. You’ve encountered it. Now it’s time to share it. Do not be afraid. Go, and tell others so they might also know the joy and hope of the peaceable reign of God on earth.

Do not be afraid. Wake up, and LIVE.

In a world marred by violence, Christ calls us to peace.

When we live peace, when we promote peace, when we work for peace, we will be called the children of God, those who reflect God's vision of peace in and for the world.

May peace be our mission, even as peace is Christ's mission.

Christ is alive!

On Easter, the story of life and death is redefined.

The Good News that echoes through the ages is that Christ has overcome all that would inhibit us from living in full communion with God and with one another and has set out the path of new life.

Christ is not defined by his death but by his life and relationship with God, and when we choose not to be afraid but to follow his Way we, too, awake to new Easter life here and now and beyond the veil of this mortal plane.

He is risen - alleluia!
