Easter 2022
This is Pastor Ben’s Easter message. Sometimes we need reminders that we are not alone and that someone is willing to walk with us through the dark times of our lives.

There is always a day after conflict. It doesn’t all end when one side wins and the other loses. Why does that matter to us? Because we have a big “day after” moment coming up in November.
How do we make sense of the senseless violence of the past 3 weeks and even the past 20 years of mass violence? God calls to us from the book of Amos and gives us direction.
We continue the story of Queen Esther and we see that the first dinner party ends with Haman getting upset and King Xerxes suffering from insomnia. There are lessons to be learned from Esther, Haman and Xerxes. We can grow from this story!
We begin Holy Week with Palm Sunday. We remember Jesus triumphant entry into Jerusalem as we get ready for Jesus triumph over death! Pr. Brian Ward and I share this message.
