Christ is Risen! Alleluia!
This Easter Sunday we see the miracle of the resurrection, the promise of new, abundant life, and we are transformed!

Today, we recognize Trans Day of Visibility and we pray that we may continue to be transformed by the beauty in how God has called our trans siblings to live as their full and authentic selves.

May we be moved to action so that we may live in a world where all of God's children know they are welcomed at Your table. Lord, may we know that when we sit with one another, and see one another, we see You.

Easter Sunday:
Resurrected One,
we, your beloved q***r children,
yearn for a resurrection, not just in afterlife,
but now.

Rooted in your love,
we shatter the lies that confine us.
Empowered by this resurrection,
we rise together,
proclaiming the truth of who we are,
casting off fear with newfound courage.

Grant us, Divine Gardener,
a garden of boundless love
where every soul may bloom
in the radiance of your grace.
Let our unique truths,
like vibrant flowers,
unfurl freely, their colors enriching
the tapestry of your creation.

Forever transformed by your loving light,
we offer ourselves wholly,
your beloved children, forever known.
All this and more, amen.

Christ Invites You Here

Dear Siblings in Christ,

Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Not powers. Not rulers. Not things present. Not anything in all of creation.

In other words: "God Adores You" just the way you are.

"For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 8:38-39
