This Sunday, May 5th, there will be a brief meeting after the 11 a.m. service with Mother Liz. Are you thinking about being confirmed or received in the Episcopal Church? Renewing your baptismal vows and deepening your commitment to Christ? Are you just curious about this particular Anglican branch of the Jesus Movement, or about Christianity in general? This class will address questions about the Episcopal Church and prepare those who want to be confirmed or received when Bishop Andrew St. John visits Ascension on Ascension Day, Thursday, May 30. Inquirers’ classes start meeting very soon, so please speak to Mother Liz if you are interested in attending.

In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz celebrates Earth Month alongside Eastertide, noting how resurrection speaks not only to humanity but to “the groaning of the whole creation” and God’s determination to make all things new. She observes that when Mary Magdalene mistakes the risen Christ for a gardener, we glimpse the deep interconnection of all beings—and when we touch creation’s wounds with reverence and compassion, we meet God. Quoting Robin Wall Kimmerer, the rector reminds us that “when we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us,” and invites us to deepen our love and commitment to our fragile, beautiful planet.
