The Third Sunday of Easter

Did Jesus have too high an expectation? How did he think the disciples would respond to suddenly meeting his resurrected self. Fearfully, they hid in a room behind a locked door. How do we respond from a position of fear? How do we, today,  live into the story of the Resurrected Christ? One answer is by our actions. On Sunday we will celebrate the contributions of our community meal volunteers who reliably cook, serve and clean up after serving a meal to whoever comes to our door. Christ in action - Hallelujah!
