Christ is risen! And the Good News is not just for a day.
Too often, we treat Easter like a grand finale instead of what it truly is: the beginning of something new. In the life of the Church, we now enter Eastertide, a season that stretches beyond lilies and trumpets into everyday life. It’s a time to remember that resurrection isn’t a one-time event, but a way of being in the world.
But here’s the thing: resurrection can be disorienting.
What happens after the stone is rolled away? What do we do when the life we expected doesn’t return to “normal”? What if the old ways no longer work and we aren’t sure what comes next?
If that feels familiar, you’re not alone. In fact, you’re right where you need to be.
This week, we’re beginning a new sermon series called Disoriented, inspired by Richard Rohr’s spiritual framework of Order, Disorder, and Reorder. It’s a way of understanding both our faith and our world, a way to make meaning in seasons of disruption and uncertainty. In this series we’ll explore how God meets us in the mess, the questions, the uncertainty—and gently, patiently, calls us forward into new life.
Because here’s the truth: even when we feel disoriented, God is not. The risen Christ is still showing up – on shorelines, in silence, in unexpected conversations and courageous new steps.
So join us over the next few weeks as we explore what it means to live as Resurrection People. Not just on Easter Sunday, but in the ordinary, sometimes chaotic, always grace-filled days that follow.
Come curious, come questioning, come just as you are.
Resurrection isn’t over. It’s just beginning.
Peace,
Pastor Kate
