Greetings!

It's been a hard season in many ways. Last weekend in worship, we remembered All Saints' Day and loved ones who have died. Long-time faithful and beloved church member, Brenda Heinrich, died unexpectedly. For so long, she carried people in their deepest sorrows as she led our weekly Grief Share. We know many people in our One Ascension community are struggling with health, relationship, or financial challenges. We know there are hurting and hungry people in our greater community.

This weekend in worship, we are inviting you "To Choose to Live as if Resurrection is Real." This is not a denial of the aches and pains we face. But it is a reminder that death and darkness do not get the last word. Resurrection isn't just a message for Easter Sunday; it is something we need to remember again and again. We need to "live the resurrection."

So let's gather again for worship and remember who and Whose we are.

Grace & Peace,

Pastor Chamie
