Dear Holy Comforter,
On Sunday we’ll have our very first parish meeting, a chance to look back on the past four months since we began offering weekly services, to give thanks for God’s gifts to us, and to look ahead to where God is calling us.

Table Blessing

To your table
you bid us come.
You have set the places;
you have poured the wine;
and there is always room,
you say,
for one more.

Dear Holy Comforter,

Thanks be to God that Easter isn’t just one day but an entire season in the life of the Church; an entire season between Easter Sunday and Pentecost in which we get to contemplate all the dimensions of what Jesus’ death and resurrection mean for us as his followers.

This is the paschal feast,
the Lord’s passing from death to life:
so cries the Spirit.
No type or telling, this, no shadow.
Pasch of the Lord it is, and truly.
