Dear Peacemakers,
What a wonderful Easter week-end we had together! Thanks to all who helped make our Good Friday Stations of the Cross meaningful through art, readings, music. And what a joy to have 149 people in worship on Easter morning, for Word & Sacrament, prayers, glorious music, delicious food, fellowship, and Easter eggs. Most of all, thanks be to God for the new life we have in the Resurrection of Christ.
This Sunday we will read the story of Doubting Thomas and hear Jesus say three times, “Peace be with you!” Come and discover peace between doubt and faith.
We will hope to extend peace to our neighbors as we learn more about the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and their struggle for fair wages. I hope you can stay for the special presentation at 11:00. At least ten of us are planning to attend the freedom march and rally the following Sunday, the 18th in Lakeland. If interested, speak to Grant Lowe.
For those who have tickets for Godspell this Saturday at 2:00, the carpool leaves from Sweetbay, Hwy 70 and I75 at 12:45. For those who want tickets, there could be some left. Check here: http://www.tbpac.org/shows/show.asp?showId=2314
