The American Red Cross has declared only the second national blood crisis in its history — and patients may already be feeling the impact. Blood donations have fallen to a four-year summer low, worsening this summer’s emergency shortage. We are asking you to take action immediately to help save lives.

Give the gift of life and donate blood on Monday, August 3, 12:30-4:30 PM, at 210 Melrose Ave, Tryon, NC. Please sign up to give by calling 1-800-REDCROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter: Tryon to schedule an appointment. Walk-ins also welcome!

Risen Christ, the Easter story is a reminder that nothing could contain you—no tomb, no body, no violent act. You are alive in the world, unfettered and beckoning us to follow. Lead me to the places you have called me to be. Show me where you’re headed. I want to be there, too. Amen.

Every morning the sun rises,
majestic and steady.
She is greeted
in all her strength
with the joyous cacophony of birdsong.
I like to believe
this holy chorus
is the birds telling each other—
I’m here.
We made it through the night.
You’re not alone.
What good, good news.

—excerpt from the poem “Birdsong” by Rev. Sarah A. Speed |
