Words from Rev. Terry Hamilton-Poore: Easter isn’t just a day, it’s a season—seven weeks of celebrating Christ’s Resurrection that culminates in Pentecost. It makes sense: trusting God’s new life in Christ leads to a surge of energy for God’s people. It is during this period that we are having our annual Stewardship campaign. Our Stewardship theme for the year, “Just Gratitude,” refers to the deep gratitude we feel for our wonderful people; and it also acknowledges our church’s dedication to justice, which we are able to live out because of your support. These are death-dealing times, but we have already experienced new life breaking through in the joy and dedication of our congregation. Your commitment to justice in an unjust era, your determination to create a space of welcome in a cruel and divisive culture, your love and care for one another in a time when so many are isolated and lonely, are all signs that God’s love will not stay sealed in a tomb. We see Christ alive in you, and we are just grateful. ❤️

For this Thursday, please reflect on these words from Zhailon Levingston: “For every moment I feel myself slipping into the deep waters of fear and hopelessness, my community reminds me that I am not alone. If I refocus my light in the direction of the people, places, and things that aren’t given the same platform as my fears, I will see people choosing life in spite of death, creating things anew, and making the hope I seek as real as the air I breathe.”
With this reflection in mind, and as we approach Jesus’s death and resurrection, where in our lives do we observe life in spite of death, hope in spite of despair, joy in spite of fear? How do these noticings orient us towards “resurrection?”
The Harvard Glee Club is touring the American South, and FPC is honored to host their Alabama concert in our sanctuary on Monday, March 16th at 6:30pm! They’ll be joined by Birmingham’s Youth & Young Adult Fellowship Choir. We hope you’ll join us! 🎶
