What can I say? Lent is over. It is Holy Week. Easter is here. The famous Boston preacher/priest, Phillips Brooks, wrote the following Easter poem:

Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer;

Death is strong, but Life is stronger;

Stronger than the dark, the light;

Stronger than the wrong, the right;

Faith and Hope triumphant say,

Christ will rise on Easter Day.

 If you don’t have a church to attend on Easter, join me at 7 a.m. at the Reynolds Plantation Pointe Pavilion or 9 a.m. at the Reynolds Lake Club or at 10:30 a.m. at the Lake Welcome Center (come at 9:30 for Children’s activities prior to service). All are welcomed. You and your family are specifically invited. Wishing you much love and much light.
