Katharine Jefferts Schori calls on Episcopalians to stretch their
spiritual muscles in order to 'insist on resurrection everywhere we
turn' in her 2010 Easter message, published in ENS Weekly bulletin
inserts for Easter Day, April 4. Click here for the Presiding Bishop's Easter Message________________ Several parishes are offering Stations of the Cross during Holy Week. For those of you who cannot participate in one of these walks, there is an online version offered by Episcopal Young Ministries. Thanks to Fr.

 The Lessons Appointed for Use on Easter Day
THE COLLECT
O God, who for our redemption gave your
only-begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious
resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to

* ABOUT THE NEWS....
Readers,The Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast is having to take some rather drastic financial recovery measures. As mentioned in a prior e-newsletter, one of the cuts includes diminishing the Director of Communications position to part-time.As a result all Diocesan news will be covered on the website - www.diocgc.org - and this e-newsletter, Around the Diocese. The website may experience some
delays in updates. The e-news is the new Coastline "online."
Several of you have asked if your event can be covered by The Coastline Editor. I am so disappointed to say that unfortunately under the circumstances, most on-site event coverage by the Editor will no longer be possible. Please be assured, however, that news sent to the Coastline office will be presented either on the website, the calendar, the e-news...usually all three. Please appoint someone or a team as "Coastline Communicators" if your church hasn't done so. Have that person(s) cover the event and send in a photo and the report/story. Please see left sidebar for submission guidelines.
Thank you for your patience as we go through this difficult time.
2 Corinthians 4:13-18 "So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day...because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal."
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
