Dear Grace Community,
Welcome to Holy Saturday, the space between death and resurrection. For some it may feel like the world is stuck in Holy Saturday, a place of sadness and waiting. Holy Saturday is a hard place to live, and I have good news for you, Sunday is coming. Easter is coming. Resurrection is coming.
Earlier in the week I wrote to you and said, ‘Easter is about an empty cross, an empty grave, and a risen Lord. Nothing can change that.’ I look forward to celebrating Easter with you tomorrow. No, it won’t look the same, but the promise is the same.
We continue to worship together online at 10 am on Sundays. The schedule for Sunday as well as opportunities for next week are listed below. Attached are the hymns for Sunday as well as a cross for you to download. Since we won’t gather to decorate the flower cross, create your own. Make one from materials in your home or yard, decorate this one, or simply place this one on your door. Please take a picture of your cross and email it to catherine@mygpc.org and or put it on Facebook with the hashtag #mygpceaster.
Below you’ll also find links with information about life at Grace. Life continues, though quite differently.
In Christ,
Catherine
