- Pastor's Greetings:
- During this season we need to explore the meaning of
Christian initiation as a life long process of being transformed into the life and
holiness of God. Easter is a time for our churches to be engaged in a common process of
renewal and reliving conversion. This itself is basic to authentic worship: the process of
praying, of searching the Scriptures, of renewing the meaning of witness and discipleship,
of taking seriously penance and reconciliation, and of participating in the rhythm of
celebrations, in Word and Sacrament culminating in Easter and the Great Fifty Days. I
challenge everyone to put aside the sins and failure of the past in the light of who we
are yet to become by the grace of God. May God bless everyone and bring all together in
one accord this Easter.
- --Rev. Doug Smailes
