Dear family and friends of Christ Church,

 

Dear family and friends of Christ Church,

 

We thank you for setting us at tasks which demand our best efforts, and for leading us to accomplishments which satisfy and delight us.

 

As I sit at my gate in Newark airport, these words from our prayer book come to mind. I am still basking in the glow of Holy Week, and all that we accomplished together during the last month. I am grateful for so many who worked to make a powerful witness to our community, and to share the Good News of Christ’s Resurrection!

 

The workload was large, and yet I find myself grateful that God would entrust such important, challenging labors to us. On the other side, it is a gift to enjoy of season of satisfaction and delight.

 

And, of course, we know that our ministries continue. It has been heartening to see faces from our Holy Week services join us over the last two weeks. We know that our faith journeys are deepened most fully when we engage in regular practice.
