Last Sunday we entered the Easter season by discussing new life for our congregation through being strong and courageous. We announced that we will be hosting a vacation Bible school for our community this summer and will be beginning a Wednesday evening children’s ministry this fall. In June we also will be making some changes to our worship service to create an environment which is welcoming to all. But new life as a faith community does not just come through changes like these. It comes through recognizing as individuals our need to deepen our own spirituality. New life comes through doing the work to experience the power of resurrection in our own lives. This Sunday we will look at the account of the two disciples walking to Emmaus after Jesus’ tomb is found empty. And we consider the steps we need to take to witness, like those disciples, the power of resurrection.
