Easter Sunday 2012
The reading from today says it all. Remember it was a woman who broke the news. On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter [...]
Portland-Good Friday has just a communion service. Holy Saturday day has no liturgy at all during the day until sundown when the Easter vigil begins and Lent is officially over. It’s been a long slog through the 40 days but we’ve made it to coincide with Mitt Romney’s almost selection as the nominee of the [...]

No, wait…he plays for New York…never mind. Today marks Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and an introduction to just how fickle a [...]
And the story from Sanford, Fl, comes out in dribs and drabs. What really happened back in February when a youngster was killed in Florida because the neighbor-hood watch guy felt his life was threatened.
