Mother’s Day – May 12th. Jesus had a momma. So did you. You might even be a mother. No one reading this got to be alive without one. So, we remember mothers.
Graduation Sunday – May 19th. With all the snow days, this was almost pushed back into July. :^) This is a time within the presence of God in worship for us to lift up those who are moving on to the next stage in their educational lives. Memorial Day Weekend – May 26th. A federal holiday remembering US military personnel who have died in war. It makes sense to remember in this season of resurrection. Blessing of the Animals – June 2nd. It should finally be nice outside by then. God created the whole world and called it good. This is an annual service when we remember that the world includes your dog or cat or iguana or….” Special Guest Musicians and Singers/Pentecost – June 9th. We’re still working the details out on this, but if it comes together, it should be pretty awesome. |

The Gospel of Matthew tells the Easter story in three scenes.
In the first scene, Jesus, newly risen from the dead, greets the female disciples who’d gone to his tomb to care for his dead body. In the third scene, Jesus meets more disciples on in Galilee. There Jesus shares some now famous words concluding with “I am with you always, even until the end of the age.” The disciples in these scenes are filled with fear and joy, faith and doubt. Every one of them knows from their scalp to their toes that Jesus should not be there with them…alive. And yet there he is. Something wondrous and unexpected has happened; heaven has broken out on earth; life has beaten death. The second scene, the middle scene, is populated not by disciples but by powerful church leaders and the armed guards who’d been guarding the tomb. There is nothing wonderful or unexpected in this scene; there is no scent of heaven in it. It plays out like every scene you’ve ever seen where the rich and powerful scheme to keep ahold of control. There’s a lame political and religious cover-up. There are pay-offs and bribes. Alternative facts and narratives are concocted to fool people. In the first and third scenes, there’s a sense that the loving power of Jesus is creating something good and dynamic in the world. In the second, powerful ministers and politicians try to spin things their way not caring that doing so means pushing Jesus aside and denying the world hope. I wonder which type of scene I want to spend my life and energy on. The shocking one where Jesus takes me somewhere wondrous? Or the boring one where I try to control things and get in the way of God? You? |
