To the Editor:

Easter is coming.

The celebration of Easter is especially important for those who hold the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as significant. The story of Easter is good news for Christians because through the resurrection of Jesus Christ they are given grace, access to God, and become part of the healing, restoration, and life-giving work of God in the world. It is an odd story and an amazing reality. In fact, there is no story quite like it.

It is not an exaggeration to say that most Christian congregations would welcome those searching to better understand how this God works in the world and in our lives to join them in their annual observance of Holy Week and Easter.

In fact, Christian faith communities would, especially welcome visitors, seekers, and all sorts of spiritual practitioners moved by religious memory, family history, or cultural influence to join them on Easter in listening to this amazing story.

Easter is a celebration of a surprise ending of a thought-to-be-certain story.

If such a possibility intrigues you; if you are hoping that more surprises are in store, that this isn’t as good as life gets, then venture into any Christian faith communities this Easter. More than likely, you will be met by a surprising God, known to roll away stones and startle folks with unimaginable promises and astounding tales.
