On this 3rd Sunday of the 50-day Easter Season, we remember how the risen Jesus appeared to his followers in their locked room – to talk with them in confusing times, to eat with them, to give them a peace & hope their world could not provide, and to send them forth with a mission of change (repentance) & forgiveness for all peoples. We hear beautiful words of hope from 1 John 3: “See what LOVE the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God – and that is what we are!” Child of God, may you feel the power of God’s love in your heart, as we prepare to worship together this Sunday! Oh, yes, we truly have an amazing story to tell… God IS love!
Christ Is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!
