Easter 2026: Good News is Alive!
“Because Jesus knows what we will always need to be reminded of: the good news is greater than any tyrant. The good news of God is more alive than anything that tries to kill God, more alive than anything that tries to kill the imago dei in all of us. Kings come and kings go, and we may tremble still—but God? God shakes the earth with power and might be so tender and so fresh it can make a tomb bloom with new life.” –Rev. Lizzie McManus-Dail
Palm & Passion Sunday
“Not until recently did I realize that I didn't actually know what "hosanna" meant. I'd always assumed it was a synonym for alleluia, an expression of praise. But hosanna and alleluia are not the same. Hosanná is a transliteration of the Hebrew term (hôsî-âh-na) meaning "Oh, save now!" or "Please save!" In other words the crowd at the procession wasn't shouting praises to Jesus. The crowd was begging Jesus to save them. Well that raises an interesting question, from what?” ― Diana Butler Bass
