In times of devastating loss and disorienting transitions it often seems impossible to reconnect with contentment, much less joy.  Love of self and others can be a stretch.  The Easter story is one of resurrection of love incarnate, the reanimation of our soul as we begin to find hope, an invitation to open to joy after the turmoil of losing what’s dearest to our hearts.  As the choir will tease us with a new Jason Shelton arrangement:  “A new life is calling, come out from the shadows!  Roll away the stone of your hesitant heart.”
