This Sunday, April 9, is Easter. We will be welcoming Rev Steve Edington back to the pulpit with his service titled A Fate Worse Than Death: An Easter Meditation. Rev Steve writes:

The title for my Easter sermon for this Sunday draws on a couple of lines from Norman Cousins and Henry David Thoreau.

Norman Cousins: “The tragedy of life is not death, but what we let die inside us while we live.” And from Thoreau: “I wish to learn what life has to teach, and not, when I come to die, discover that I have not lived.”

As our earth awakens from winter to spring, how do we attend to our need for awakenings in our lives? This is the challenge that Cousins and Thoreau pose for us as we approach another Easter: How do we truly remain alive to the possibilities within us, even as our lives move on? I find part of the answer to this in the Third Act of Thorton Wilder’s well-known play Our Town.

Look forward to being with you on this Sunday.
