How lovely it was to enjoy the breeze together in our new "canopy church" on Easter Sunday!

. . . and it's extra-lovely to realize that the celebration continues. On the church calendar, Easter season lasts for seven Sundays—longer than Lent! It's a great season to sing Alleluias with gusto and to rejoice in Christ's Risen Life.

During Eastertide (through Sunday, May 16) Incarnation is inviting kids and families to Easter Wonder: gathering on the lawn in front of the chapel at 10:30 am to get ready for church with an art invitation and scripture meditation.

All ages welcome and encouraged. It's great for both parents and kids to take time to listen to scriptures and respond . . . adult participation conveys that these things are worthwhile for everyone.
