Reaching out from Grand Lake Community Chapel

Greetings in Christ!
Christ is Risen! He is Risen, indeed!! Three days removed from the glory of Easter Sunday; we’re still in the glow of our celebration of the Resurrection of Our Lord. Today may be overcast Up North, but nothing can diminish the Light that has driven darkness out of the world. If you’re looking for evidence, a cease-fire has been agreed to in the Iran conflict, with the promise of intense negotiations over the next two weeks to bring lasting peace to the Middle East. Beyond that, it’s getting warmer, the snow piles are melting away, and our beloved Snowbirds are heading north! Much to celebrate, we think!
Of course, our ongoing celebration of Easter is at the center of our lives right now, and we ask you to consider the question we asked on Easter Sunday; what’s left of Easter after the joyous worship services are but a fond memory and the candy is all gone? As we said on Sunday, WE are what’s left of Easter, and we are called to allow God to change us and the world around us. We invite each of you to recommit yourselves to acts of kindness and mercy, to be generous with your time, talent, and treasure in service of God’s Kingdom on Earth, and to be quick to forgive any transgressions against you. This is the work of a Christian, and while it is at times hard work, it is always, always rewarding work. It is this work that can profoundly change the world, one interaction at a time, in one corner of the world at a time. Can you only imagine how different things could be next Easter if all of us took up this work? Amazing!
Blessings,
Karen and Greg
