The Joy of Easter
Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and, depending on which Gospel you read, one or two other women – Joanna? Salome? – arrived together on the third day to find Jesus’ tomb empty, then rushed to share the news with Simon Peter and that shadowy, never named disciple, “the one Jesus loved,” the one who ran ahead of Peter to the tomb and seeing it empty, understood and believed.
Running to find Jesus… together… celebrating… together… understanding… together… believing. Easter morning… Resurrection… walking the path of faith so many before us have trod… running to find Jesus… together.
The minister and people of The Table: United Church of Christ of La Mesa invites you to share the joy, to celebrate with us the resurrection of Christ.
