It's the wee hours of Easter morning, and the New Fire has been kindled and we affirm anew that the Light of Christ shines in the darkest places we find ourselves, and that darkness cannot every overcome that Light. Happy Easter to you, and to all whom you love, and to all who you do not know. Because this day we celebrate our comm-unity with one another, which is a reflection of the Love with which the Creator lavishes us.
See our brief video greeting below...
I hope you can take the time to pause, and take in the connections—even if it's by telephone or video conference—that support you this Easter weekend and beyond. This Easter morning we at St Mary's are worshipping online with our mother parish, Christ Church Cathedral. You will find and Event page on our website here. And make that second cup of coffee or tea and join us for Virtual Coffee Hour via Zoom at 10:30am (12 April). You'll find details about how to join that session on this Event page.
May the Blessing of the God who Created you, the Son who redeems you, and the Spirit who empowers you be with you now and always!
