It is officially Spring, and today it is actually sunny and almost 60 degrees outside. I love Spring and the bright sun and newness everywhere! I just drove to my lunch appointment with my sunroof open and I half considered 

not returning to the office.  Just kidding!  Of course I came back ~ not only because I love my job - but also because there is a lot going on @Converge Northwest and in our churches this time of year!  

I also love Easter and particularly the message of Easter!  "Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die"  (John 11:25)   In just a few short weeks, we will all be gathering in our churches to celebrate our Risen Savior!  This is the day and event that unites us and gives us Hope.  And if you read or listen to the news these days, that Hope is what the world is craving and seeking!  And by the grace of God, we still have the freedom, honor and privilege to share that Hope in our pulpits, with our neighbors & friends and in our workplace.   We pray that this Living Hope will be preached boldly and seen clearly in you and your churches, and that His Name is made famous in and through our movement!
