“What if we shifted our model of church membersh

“What if we shifted our model of church membership to church partnership? I could no longer say I am a member of First Presbyterian Church. I would have to say that in Christ I am a partner with others in Christ at First Presbyterian Church who together do God’s justice and love God’s mercy and walk humbly with God.”

“I’m not sure what it’s going to take for us

“I’m not sure what it’s going to take for us to see all of our neighbors as people who were created by God, redeemed by God, and sustained by God — who bear God’s image. But it’s the place we will need to get to if there is to be hope for us.”

"We know this epic love story but we cannot stop at its familiarity. We open ourselves up to the unexpected as we arrive at the tomb and realize we have to lay our own spices down, letting go of what we know how to do to step toward whatever is next. … Do not be daunted by the symbols and signs of death. Do not be overwhelmed by what is, or what you hope will be."

— Commentary by Rev. Larissa Kwong Abazia on Luke 24:1-12

"One day,
one day
we will say,
“It is finished”
and only mean the
book we just read,
the cake we just baked,
the song that made us sing,
the meal around the table,
the familiar drive back home."

"We live in a world that feels woefully unfair, that is woefully unfair. It is unfair that certain people aren’t seen in their full humanity. It is unfair that not seeing this humanity leads to suffering, mistreatment, lack of care, and loss of life. And yet, when we mourn these situations and honor humanity, we show that our capacity to love has not been taken away in all this."

— Commentary by Rev. Ashley DeTar Birt on John 19:1-30

"For me, there is a liminality to standing with my feet submerged, not far from dry ground. Whether a boat ride or baptism, you’re going somewhere you’ve never been when you decide to take that step. The disciples have no idea where their own journey will take them. Peter is at first reluctant to even dip his toes into the water—into the liminality. But they’re assured they’ll be with Jesus on the other side."

“For now, alongside the disciples, we are invited to surrender to the moment. Take our shoes off and feel the solid ground below. Rest our weary bodies and souls to be cleansed by the water splashing in the basin. Through these waters, we will become more deeply present to the days ahead.”

"God of mercy, one of the last things you did for

"God of mercy, one of the last things you did for your disciples was wash their feet. It was love in action. Remind us that we are worthy of that same generous love. Help us receive and trust authentic love when it is given. We too are worthy of being cared for. Amen."

"Justice will bubble up, hope will raise its head

"Justice will bubble up,
hope will raise its head,
love will rise to the surface.
Hate and fear will try to
drown them out,
but you cannot silence
what was here first,
which was love,
and it was good.
It was so good.
So even the stones will cry out.
Remember that
at your parade."

“Expressing our joys, telling our truths, asking the questions we need to ask, repenting and making amends, being our honest and authentic selves—these things are too important to be silent. We shouldn’t have to restrain ourselves because some may temporarily experience discomfort.”

"Dear God, we all know the perfect sting of a critic, calling us out when we go our own way. We all know the fear that tells us to stay put, and the anxiety around doing a new thing. It can be all-encompassing. Remind us to trust our gut, to listen to our heart, and to follow where you lead. Help us be brave. Help us be faithful. Amen."
