On Easter Sunday we welcome all your children to come and learn the lesson of the lord. And yes there may be a little treat for every child. At least that’s what the Easter bunny told us!

Resurrection of Our Lord/ Easter Day April 4, 20211 Christ is risen! Jesus is alive, and God has swallowed up death forever. With Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, we may feel astonished and confused, unsure of what to make of the empty tomb. But this is why we gather; to proclaim, witness, praise, and affirm the liberating reality of Christ’s death and resurrection. In word and feast, we celebrate God’s unending love, and depart to share this good news with all the world. Alleluia!

Sunday of the Passion/Palm Sunday March 28, 2021 This week, the center of the Church’s year, is one of striking contrasts; Jesus rides into Jerusalem surrounded by shouts of glory, only to be left alone to die on the cross, abandoned by even his closest friend. Mark’s gospel presents Jesus in his complete human vulnerability; agitated, grieved, scared, forsaken. Though we lament Christ’s suffering and all human suffering, we also expect God’s salvation: in the wine and bread, Jesus promises that his death will mark a new covenant with all people. We enter this Holy Week thirsty for the completion of God’s astonishing work.
