This week, Mother Liz reflects on the theme of abundance in the gospel story of the risen Jesus meeting his disciples on the beach. In a moment filled with surprising grace — an overwhelming catch of fish, a simple meal, and the quiet restoration of Peter — Jesus offers sustenance, forgiveness, and purpose. As we journey through Eastertide, we are invited to receive God’s overflowing love even when we feel uncertain or unworthy, and to respond by caring for others with that same love.

Alleluia! Christ is risen! This week, Mother Liz offers thanks to all who helped make our Holy Week and Easter observances and celebrations beautiful and full of meaning: from the lay preachers in the first part of the week to the many acolytes, flower arrangers, food bringers, singers, etc., etc. And thank you to all who joined us — in person, online or in spirit — to make this Holy Week and Easter particularly special. The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!

For the liminal space of Holy Saturday, Mother Liz offers a prayer by writer and poet Cole Arthur Riley (pictured above). Then it’s on to Saturday night and the Great Vigil of Easter (8 pm) followed by Easter Sunday, the Day of Resurrection, with Holy Eucharist at 9 am, Festal Eucharist with the full choir at 11 am, and the service of Meditation & Sacrament at 6 pm. And following the 11 am celebration, a festive brunch in the Parish Hall! Join us!
