A Message from Pastor Dianne

To the People of God at Harwich,

So much to celebrate!

May is filled with anticipation for the summer to begin.  Flowers break forth and birds return and finally, Memorial Day here on Cape Cod marks the safe weather for planting.  May Day on the 1^st, Cinco de Mayo on the 5^th, Mother’s Day on the 8^th and I celebrate my daughter’s birthday on the 15^th.  Literature refers to the Merry, merry month of May…..

We celebrate the Easter season all month– Christ is Risen, He Is risen Indeed! and the scriptures record the post-resurrection appearances during our worship time together.

What will you celebrate this month?  Perhaps celebrating is not the word…

What will you remember: perhaps with joy, perhaps with sadness, perhaps with regret?  Christ came into the world to share a message of Peace.  His parting words were: Peace I leave with you… not as the world gives…but a peace that passes understanding… a Profound peace in the midst of LIFE.

Let us pray for peace in Ukraine.
Let us pray for peace with justice in our communities.
Let us pray for peace where there has been racial violence, gun violence, and sexual violence.
Let us pray for Peace in the halls of power and an openness to change.

May your merriment be profound.  A celebration of Life.  For Christ Is Risen.
His 21st-century post-resurrection appearances among us are to be anticipated with Joy. 

Peace in the name of the Risen Lord,
Pastor Dianne
