To Index of First Editions Dear Friends, By the time this reaches you, it will officially be spring. These past few days, with warming temperatures, melting snow, singing birds, budding trees and sprouting bulbs, I know I ve been in the think spring mood.
Spring is a seasonal time of hope and rebirth.
I ve seen house windows open and signs of spring cleaning beginning all around my town. With the coming of spring comes Easter, the spiritual season of hope and rebirth. There are many worship opportunities for this faith community as we move through lent to Holy Week and Easter. Please plan to avail yourself to these opportunities for spiritual spring-cleaning. With the ending of lent, and a journey through Jesus trials and ultimate passion, we are offered the opportunity to shed our unnecessary baggage of the past, our fears and our regrets.
