Minister’s Corner

Shalom aleikhem! שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם Peace be upon you!

Good morning, and welcome! As we gather today, many around the world are celebrating the Orthodox Easter. While we do not observe another Easter Sunday, it is a wonderful opportunity to keep our hearts focused on the resurrection of Jesus and the hope it brings. The resurrection is not just a day on the calendar—it is the foundation of our faith and the message that continues to transform lives.

This morning we return to Acts 13 where Paul proclaims the good news that centers on the death and resurrection of Jesus. He reminds his listeners that through Christ comes forgiveness of sins and a freedom that the law could never provide. The message that changed hearts in Antioch is the same message that still brings life today. As we worship together, may we be reminded that the risen Christ is our hope, our salvation, and our reason for joy—today and every day.
