4-4-2021 New Normal - "Life Among the Living"

Rev. Lee begins this week by acknowledging that we are all “in need of a resurrection.” She sympathizes with the women in the Easter story of the resurrection who were visiting his grave that Sunday. She reminds is that when Jesus is resurrected, he isn’t recognized by his friends and family - he's unfamiliar. A messenger reminds the women that we can not look for the living among the dead. We can’t find new life in what is past. We conclude with a story from a pastor about a memorial service, where the symbolism of sunflowers plays a large role, as does a very active toddler.
