St. Andrew's United Methodist Church
Easter Sunday | Rev. Jayne Rideout
OVERVIEW
This week's scripture passage reminds us that God meets us in our sorrow. Jesus found Mary by the tomb and comforted her in her grief. He seeks us out even when we don’t expect to find him. Not only does God seek us out, he continuously pursues us. He understands how distracted we are by the reality of a pandemic, the busyness of our lives, or whatever else has captured our attention.
