Christ is Risen!

Happy Easter everyone. I hope that Easter Day was filled with joy for you, and I also hope that Easter Sunday will not be the end of your Easter celebration. We spend so much time in Lent focused on deepening our relationship with God that by the time we get to Easter it can seem like we are done with that spiritual intensity. What if we were to develop practices for the Easter season that help us to connect with Jesus, deepening that relationship in a similar way as in Lent, but with a focus on the Joy of the Resurrection?

This weekend at St. Paul's on-the-Hill, for all of our services, we are doing something called the Stations of the Resurrection. Members of our parish developed this devotional practice for Easter, during which we consider moments of resurrection found in the Bible and in the world. We hope that these Stations will be a jumping off point for your reflections about your personal moments of resurrection. We will post the Stations on our website in the next day or two. Enjoy.
