Easter Monday

 

(*Resurrection by Lydia Han)

Resurrection

Easter. The grave clothes of winter

are still here, but the sepulchre

is empty. A messenger

from the tomb tells us

how a stone has been rolled

from the mind, and a tree lightens

the darkness with its blossom.

There are travellers upon the roads

who have heard music blown

from a bare bough, and a child

tells us how the accident 

of last year, a machine stranded 

beside the way for lack

of petrol is covered with flowers. 

-  R. S. Thomas

Morning has broken. 

It's a new day in Christ. We live the resurrection by faith, not by sight. 

What a glorious day it was yesterday. Surely the presence of the risen Christ was in our places. You can watch all three churches' Easter services at the following links:

Thank you for being part of Christ's beloved community. Have a wonderful week. 

In Christ,
Pastor Victor
