I love Easter. To me Easter has always felt more like the beginning of the “New Year” than our traditional January 1st observance. Perhaps it’s because I associate Easter with re-birth and newness in both meaning, and the time of year in which it occurs. I think that Pine Street Church has been in a sort of Easter for a few years now, and it seems to me that we’ve only just awoken to find our hidden baskets… so to speak.
There is still a feast to which we can look forward. We can smell it and see it in the new life that has been injected into the spirit and make-up of the congregation. We anticipate this feast in the renovation of the commons building that will house our already established Off Broadway School of Fine Arts and our new preschool. Are you excited yet? I am.
Don’t forget to join us this Friday, April 18th at 7:30 pm for the church’s Good Friday musical meditation- Till the Sun Turns Black- a cover of Ray LaMontagne’s album. It’s a parallel journey of the Easter story and it’s also the coolest thing to take place in any church that I’ve ever attended. A goodwill offering will be collected to benefit the Off Broadway School of Fine Arts Scholarship Fund.
I’ll see you there,
Emily
