Easter Sunday is now behind us and what a day it was! We were able to worship with 320 different devices at our online worship service and 160 people came to worship together in the parking lot for a second service. It was so beautiful to see you all gathered together in different ways! It was a glimpse of how our worshipping community will work to meet the varied spiritual and worship needs of those that call this place their home church.

When I was a little girl, my Uncle Dan taught me a little tune that had finger movements to go with it. He showed me how to entwine my fingers in just the right way. He would place his very large hands with long bony fingers over my little hands and we would sing together “Here is the Church, and here’s the steeple, Open the door and see all the people.”

Let me begin by thanking you for your support and participation in this worshipping community – especially over the last eight months. Your generosity, your kindness, and your support for one another during these complicated times has been inspiring. Early on in the pandemic, Pastor Kelli gave a sermon reminding us how difficult it was to find solid ground when fear and worry for tomorrow swirl around us. Thank you for helping each other find that solid ground in Christ together. We will weather these storms together.
