Reaching out from Grand Lake Community Chapel
Wednesday, April 22, 2026 Greetings in Christ!
Christ is Risen! He is Risen, indeed!! This is the bright and sunny day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it as we continue to celebrate the season of Easter! After all the rain and cold, the melting snow and ice, and of course the tragic flooding and damage caused by high water in our area, it’s nice to look out our windows and see cobalt blue skies and bright sunshine, isn’t it?
We know that many, many folks are still dealing with wet basements and crawl spaces, and that some have suffered water intrusions into their main living spaces. These tumultuous recent days remind us that no matter what we’re facing, we don’t face it alone. We’ve seen so many stories of people helping people with all manner of things, which is exactly what we are called to as followers of the Risen Lord. Just as Jesus walked along-side the disciples on the road to Emmaus on Easter Sunday, he is walking alongside all who are strug-gling. Let us walk alongside those in need, acting as the hands of Christ, the eyes and ears of Our Lord look-ing and listening to quiet pleas for aid, and the arms of Jesus offering a comforting hug. All of us have lots of spring-cleaning work to do; but to be blunt, raking our yards or setting up our patios are a much lower priority that helping someone recover from floodwaters. There will be time enough for everything else, so please keep an eye out for those in need, and offer loving help if you are able.
Today is a very special day, Professional Administrators Day. We are greatly blessed at the Grand Lake Com-munity Chapel and Westminster Presbyterian Church to have the very capable support and care of three amazingly gifted and intelligent woman: Laurie, Michelle, and Sharey. They go above and beyond to assist us and the churches in the work we do, and are excellent examples of living out love for others. Thank you, our dear office administrators, for all that you do!
Today, let us stand ready to offer whatever assistance we can to family, friends, and neighbors.
God bless you, Karen and Greg
