Greetings to all!
As you continue your Eastertide reflection, consider the following
poem, "And the Glory," by Ann Weems.
The silence breaks into morning.
That One Star lights the world.
The lily springs to life and
not even Solomon…
Let it begin with singing
and never end!
Oh, angels, quit your lamenting!
Oh, pilgrims,
upon your knees in tearful prayer,
rise up
and take your hearts
and run!
We who were no people
are named anew
God's people,
for he who was no more
is forevermore.
(as found in Kneeling in Jerusalem)
The scriptures for Sunday, April 3, the 2nd Sunday of Easter…
Acts 5:27-32
Revelation 1:4-8
John 20:19-31
Sunday Conversations continue this Sun, Apr 3, 10am, in
