Lent Into Easter
The journey may have been long for you. The past few weeks may have been tedious. The scripture texts have
been about Jesus' ministry. As we approach Holy Week and then the Sunday of Resurrection, we may find ourselves burdened with lots of church services to lead, or attend; or we may find a holiness in these days. Whatever your journey, may you be filled with
great joy experiencing the all-encompassing love of God. Thanks be to God!
