Bishop Olewine's Monday Morning Musing:

Good Easter Monday morning, Cal-Nev family!

I awoke this morning with Howard Thurman’s poem associated with Epiphany running through my mind.

When the song of the angels is stilled,
when the star in the sky is gone,
when the kings and princes are home,
when the shepherds are back with their flocks,
the work of Christmas begins:
to find the lost,
to heal the broken,
to feed the hungry,
to release the prisoner,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among the people,
to make music in the heart.

Following the trumpet flares, the abundance of flowers, and the joyful Easter morning worship, now is the time for the work of Easter to begin as well. The work of being resurrection people, the work of being Christmas people, the work of being people of The Way is now ours.

I love that Matthew tells us that Jesus’ instruction to the women was to share with the other disciples that he was going before them. He was leading the way into this resurrected life, and they were invited to follow. Easter wasn’t about a singular event, one and done. It wasn’t about triumphant posturing. No, the Good News of Easter was and is that resurrection power invites us from closed tombs into a Jesus-journey towards a life in which healing, feeding, releasing, rebuilding, peace-making, music-creating makes God’s love and grace real in this world, right now.

As I reflect on all that is devastating in the world, both near and far, the list of tombs and dead ends seems overwhelming many mornings. The truth of Easter Good News is hard to grasp and disbelief much easier to accept. I totally understand the women’s questions and doubts as they ran from the tomb that first Easter morn.

Yet, I can’t think of a better time to accept Jesus’ invitation to follow towards resurrection life, even with our uncertainties and fears. Some days the way is hard, really hard. But the good news is that Jesus still goes before us, guiding us and showing us the way. The invitation is ours as it was for the first disciples. Choosing life over death, hope over despair, justice over inequity, compassion over disdain, and love over hate I am sure is what it means to be resurrection people, to live the work of Easter in our world!

Can we be those people, for God’s sake, for the world’s sake, for our neighbor’s sake, my Cal-Nev family?

Bishop Olewine Welcomes Full Team of 2026 - 2027 Superintendents

As we look towards the beginning of a new conference year, I am glad to welcome the full team of superintendents that will serve the clergy and congregations of Cal-Nevada, along with the respective district lay leaders. The Bay and Central Valley Districts will continue to be served by one DS each, Sun Hee Kim and Mary Maaga, respectively. El Camino Real and Los Rios will be served by two superintendents, Theon Johnson III and Oliver Mangubat and Mahsea Evans and Debbie Weatherspoon correspondingly; and the Great Northern by Dawn Blundell, Mike Harrell, April Sousa, and Angel Rivero. This provides us with different models of superintendency to live into, assess, and adapt.

As we prepare for these changes, I ask that we intentionally hold these pastors and colleagues and the local churches who are sharing their pastors in this work in our prayers, seeking God’s guidance, wisdom, grace and love. As we make these shifts, I invite us also into a spirit of curiosity, evaluating and revising in a spirit of openness and hope. In all that we do, we are seeking to align how we organize to better support our living into and out of our vision to follow Jesus, thrive in community and heal the world as we participate in making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world!

All glory and honor to God!

Bishop Sandy
