Joseph of Arimathea at Easter

April 21, 2022 By Susan Caldwell 1 Comment

I listened to the retelling of the final chapters of the Gospel of John thinking about how special it is to hear a story told out loud, even when I’ve heard it many times before.

The Interlude before the Ascension

May 13, 2021 By Anne Warner 2 Comments

This year the Ascension just hits different (as the kids like to say). Our pandemic experience right now has parallels to how the disciples must have felt after the resurrection

Easter in the Compost Bin

May 10, 2021 By Micha Boyett Leave a Comment

This Eastertide I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to live in the relentless goodness of Easter Sunday, not only on the day of Easter, but in all the fifty days that follow.

The Tomb is Empty and We’re Still Home

April 27, 2020 By Emily Rutledge 11 Comments

Through a Glass, Darkly 

April 20, 2020 By Mary Lee Wile 6 Comments

I was fairly certain Jesus would be present among our family of five on Easter morning.
