Eastertide

Eastertide is a fifty day celebration between Resurrection Sunday and Pentecost. During this season, the altar is dressed in white to symbolize Christ’s triumph over darkness, sorrow, sin, and death. Golden communion vessels represent our joy as we celebrate, in the mystery of Jesus’ resurrection, the victory of life over death. The vibrant colors of the flowers remind us that the power that raised Christ from the dead is still at work redeeming and renewing this world and each of our lives.

Rising into Virtue

In Eastertide, we ponder the mystery of resurrection. Like the flowers bursting out again in spring, like the Spirit hovering over chaos and nurturing creation, like the Christ rising from the tomb on the third day—even so, we often bear witness to new, fruitful ways of living coming to life out of the darkest places. In this series, we will explore the way our disintegrated and disregulated attempts to cope with life, can become invitations into wise, honest, human ways of flourishing.
