Easter blessings,
Last Sunday we again heard the story about the first Easter evening. The disciples were huddled in a room hiding away from the world. Even though Mary had run to them sharing that she had seen the Lord, it didn't move them from behind the locked doors.
All too often we fashion locks for ourselves and we hide away hoping that things will change. How well has that worked for you? What I have learned is that in sharing my feelings, rather than keeping them locked up, I invite others to walk with me as I struggle. My sharing creates space for someone to share their experiences. In the sharing, hope is offered, prayers are raised, and the locks are opened to allow safe passage.
This Sunday we'll hear another story that takes place on the first evening of Easter on the Road to Emmaus. Come along for the journey. Bring a friend and invite them to stay with you after service to have lunch.
For anyone interested in journeying down to Titusville, Colleen and I are having an "Open Deck" gathering. It might be the last chance that we'll have to host a gathering that will offer a glimpse of the Delaware. Please click here to let us know you're interested in joining us for lunch on the deck.
Journey seeking the risen Christ,
Pastor JJ
