The Sheep of His Pasture: Fourth Sunday of Easter
Happy Resurrection Day, friends! Easter Sunday kicks off a seven-week festival in the liturgical calendar known as Eastertide or The Great Fifty Days. I'll be posting daily each day of the Easter Octave and each Sunday following that. May you know new life, peace, and hope today, tomorrow, and forever.
Read all the way to the end of the post for a way you can help us practice resurrection!
