A Note from the Senior Warden Every week as we arrive for services it is possible to notice progress on the new baseball stadium in our backyard. Perhaps the most obvious indication that things are happening, and happening quickly, is the large number of battered pickup trucks parked near the church. These belong to construction workers who are now on the site seven days a week in a frantic effort to finish before opening day. Anyone who has spent time in Detroit during the last thirty years has witnessed the lowest ebb in the city's fortunes, and this stadium, whether one cares for baseball or not, represents a turning point. After a succession of false dawns, it seem that the sun is indeed rising.
Spring is the season of resurrection.
The sings are all around us, from the sprouting of new growth in our gardens to the increased duration of daylight, which wakens us earlier and tempts us to remain active later with each passing day. It is also the season during which we celebrate the most important resurrection of all, that of our Lord following his crucifixion. It is the essence of our faith, the conviction that our Lord loves us and that because of His sacrifice of Himself for us, we have the promise of everlasting life. We re assured of our own resurrection in Him. The resurrection of Detroit, at least our little corner of it, will take some getting used to.
