Eastertide in Strange Times

We have just entered Eastertide—the season of 50 days between Easter and Pentecost. It’s a time to join with all followers of Jesus in celebrating his resurrection, while at the same time remembering in-betweenness and the ongoing reality of grief, suffering, and loss. For the next six weeks (and likely beyond), we will be following the lectionary in our Sunday gatherings—whether the sermon is delivered by pre-recorded video as part of The Home Liturgy or live in a MegaZoom gathering. In doing so, we will attempt to further explore and live into the question: “How might we hold space for ourselves and others to feel and name fear, and yet also open to the promise and possibility of resurrection joy?”
