For this Easter season

I think my mother and Mary would have been friends.
For on their darkest days,
Both have gone to the garden.
So I imagine that on their darkest days,
Both Mary and my mother
Have willed new life from earth’s cold ground—
meticulously tending stubborn soil while praying for a miracle—
praying that seeds will grow into flowers
that will take our breath away and remind us again that we are small.

—from the poem “My Mother & Mary” by Rev. Sarah Speed, part of our “A New Creation” Easter 2019 series.

Wanna know what that pile of papers and cards is? It's our church's collection of gift cards for the Family Violence Project. Between cards that individuals purchased on their own and money donated to the church to buy more cards, we raised more than $1200 to share with people making use of Family Violence Project services.

These cards will be distributed to FVP clients so that they can do their own holiday shopping. We hope this will be a bright spot in the season for people escaping interpersonal violence.

It's Giving Tuesday, a time when many people give donations to non-profits and service organizations. If you want to join our church in serving our neighbors, you can donate directly to the Family Violence Project. I'll post a link in the comments.

You can also donate to our deacon's fund, a fund our church and Winthrop Center Friends use to help people throughout the year. I'll post the link to that in the comments, too. Also, I'd like to share other organizations doing good Matthew 25 work (feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, tending to those imprisoned, welcoming immigrants). Feel free to post links in the comments to your favorite organizations doing that work, too.

Thanks for being so generous. We can do so much good when we work together to serve our neighbors,
Pastor Chrissy
