That might be our motto for Easter this year. After all, vaccination is well under way, we are beginning to head out of Lockdown 3, and spring flowers are heading skywards. But I have another motto suitable for Easter – and it is the traditional greeting we use on Easter Sunday: Alleluia! Christ is risen He is risen indeed. Alleluia! It feels as if we never actually left Lent behind last year – Churches were closed, and we were shut behind closed doors. This year, by whatever means we can, we will experience resurrection! For some of us, that will mean worship in Church, for others it will mean making use of the services we have provided throughout the year. For still others, it may be a walk in the Wolds or along the coast as we experience God in nature. The time to take stock of what has happened over the past 12 months is probably not now. First there has to be a ‘recovery’ stage, which, we are told, will last through the summer. By September, though, if everything 10 proceeds as planned, we will be seeking to learn lessons from the Pandemic alongside working through the issues arising out of Resourcing Sustainable Church (Discussions have already started, but it will be a long process). Until then, we are encouraged to look after ourselves. Enjoy life. Keep looking out for one another. And above all, enjoy the love of our Crucified, Died and Resurrected God! Alleluia! Christ is risen He is risen indeed. Alleluia! Rev’d Teresa’s Piece This year we have a wonderful opportunity to fully celebrate Easter together, which of course we were unable to do last year due to our churches being closed. This year we may feel hesitant about coming into church after all that has transpired this year. The Good news is that we are a resurrection people, we know that death is not the end that there is the offer of eternal life. Not only does that apply to our faith but also to our church life. As we know Spring is a time of growth, a time of renewal and hopefully this year we will see things start to re-emerge in our church life. What may have appeared dead, will be brought to new life. Later this year hopefully there will be time to reach out afresh out to our communities, to meet new people and share our faith, which in turn this will help our churches to grow not only numerically but grow in the depth of our discipleship.
