Easter 2020 Sermon

Easter’s Breathtaking Good News

Link to Easter 2020 sermon video preached by Rev. Shari Jackson Monson from her home in Gig Harbor, WA. It’s the strangest thing to preach in the context of an empty sanctuary. The COVID-19 global pandemic has us pondering anew just what it means to be the church in the 21st century.

Nevertheless, it’s Easter. Christ is risen. People of God, rejoice! Hear the breathtaking good news of Jesus resurrection. Find yourself in the story this day. And every day. Amen.

I sit among empty pews and wonder, O God, how will you meet us this year at Easter? It’s the strangest thing; this global pandemic. And yet, I sense we’re ready for something new, fresh, and at the same time quite ancient. We’re Listening. Holy Spirit, speak. Bring the good news of Easter anew.
