A joyous Easter celebration!

He is risen!

At dawn, in the quiet after grief, the women came to the tomb—not with certainty, but with love.

And there, they were met with the unimaginable: “The tomb is empty… he has been raised.”

As they hurried away—afraid, yet filled with great joy

Jesus met them.

Right there, in their trembling, in their urgency, in their awe—he came near.

And his first words?
“Do not be afraid.”

In a world still marked by fear and uncertainty, this good news still speaks:
Love is stronger than death
Hope rises, even from despair
Christ meets us in the very midst of our lives

This Easter, may we carry that good news into the world—living as people of courage, compassion, and resurrection hope.

Christ is risen.
Love has the final word.

This is the night of salvation!

At the Vigil of Easter, we gather around fire, word, water, bread and wine, proclaiming through story and song that ours is a God who continuously brings life out of death.

We co-celebrate Vigil at St. Paul’s Episcopal in Brookfield at 7:30pm.

The Vigil of Easter begins in the dark.

We gather with stories—ancient, holy, and alive—reminding us that God has always been at work: bringing light from darkness, freedom from oppression, and life from what seemed lost.

Tonight, we remember:
Creation out of chaos
Liberation through the sea
Promise spoken through prophets
And the quiet, rising hope of resurrection
Even now, in a weary world, the light is not gone.
Even now, God is still creating, still liberating, still renewing.

As the first light of Easter dawns, may we be people who carry that light—into our communities, our relationships, and a world longing for hope.

Christ is our light.
And the darkness has not overcome it.

Today is Good Friday.

With solemn hearts, we remember the suffering and death of Jesus on the cross. "When Jesus had received the wine, he said, 'It is finished!' Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit" (John 19:30).

During this Maundy Thursday's service we paused for foot washing - recalling the New Testament account of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples and emphasizing humility, servant leadership, and love. It acts as a visual sermon, prompting believers to serve others regardless of status, while symbolizing spiritual cleansing and setting a precedent for Christian love.

On Maundy Thursday, we remember Christ's last meal with his disciples, but the central focus is his commandment that we love one another as he loves us.

"The Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, 'This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.'

In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me! For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes" (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

Merry Christmas! Christ is born today!

"Do not be afraid; for see - I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger" (Luke 2:9-12).
