(*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:
- Hodgdon UMC
- Houlton UMC: YouTube I Facebook
- Mars Hill UMC
Thank you for being part of Christ's beloved community. Have a wonderful week.
In Christ,
