The church is in the celebrative season of Easter. These fifty days between the Festival of the Resurrection and Pentecost are truly demonstrative of what the Christian gospel is all about. This is a time for reflecting on and demonstrating the new life and joy that God wants for each one of us. Our baptisms are signs to us and the world that we are a people who are marked by resurrection.
Our world - beginning with the people nearest to us and extending to the ends of the earth - is in need of the good news that we have heard and that we are called to demonstrate in our lives.
Let us allow the spirit of Christ move through our hearts, minds and bodies to bless those around us and those whom we shall never know. A smile, a kind word, a gentle hand can do wonders for the one who gives and the one who receives it.
In a world too often marked by cruelty, war, depression and anger, God calls us to show another reality.
My prayer is that you will meet a person marked by resurrection, and that you will be a person marked by resurrection - today.
Blessed Eastertide,
William B. Allen
Regional Minister
