The Road

Early Christians centered themselves in the peace that Jesus shared with them in the days after Easter, living together with a spirit of generosity. These key elements remain important for our life together today.

On Easter, the resurrection of Jesus gave us a new story. What seemed to be the darkest of days became reason for hope, gratitude, and joy.

Remembering the final meal Jesus shared with his disciples.

Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, a symbol of humility and peace. Christians are invited to follow in his path to share grace and love with all.

Jesus shares paradoxical wisdom that when we relinquish our hold on life for ourselves, but seek to serve, we keep it eternally.

God loves the whole world. But, more specifically, God loves you. Trusting in God's love leads us into God's light and peace.

Jesus opens space where each of us can encounter the living God who comes to us in grace and love and invites us into a life of meaning.

Jesus invites us to humbly serve others, at times denying our own interests. This is the way of the cross which can seem unwise and weak to some, but represents a new path forward that challenges the broken ways of the world.

The path Jesus invites us to take is not easy. But if we begin with the assurance that God accompanies us, following that path can be a defining moment that brings us closer to finding meaning and purpose in our own wilderness.

May the assurance of God's love give you the courage to be truthful with yourself, so that you may emerge more hopeful and convinced of God's calling for you.
