A Letter from Pastor Mark......
Christ is risen!   Christ is risen indeed!   Grace and peace to you all and may you be blessed in the presence of our Lord this week.  I pray that you are staying safe and healthy.  We continue to pray for the health and well-being of our community, province, country and world.  May God shorten the time of Covid-19 and grant wisdom and insight for all who govern and for those who seek cures and treatments.
Anyone who has been around me some (or heard my sermons!) knows that I am a fan of movies.  One of the genres that I enjoy is Science Fiction.  I especially get a kick out of some of the old “classics” that came out in the 50s and early 60s.  These movies were made in a time when people were aware of atomic power but didn’t really know much about the effects of radiation.  There are a whole series of movies in which insects, animals or even people get a dose of radiation and grow to huge size to terrorize people and cities.  Movies like “Them!” with giant ants, “Beginning of the End” with giant grasshoppers and “The Giant Behemoth” with a giant lizard.
In each of these movies the creature is exposed to large doses of radiation and they are changed.  By way of contrast, we as Christians are not called to expose ourselves to atomic radiation but rather to come into the radiant love of God through Jesus Christ so that we, in turn, might radiate that love in the world.
God’s love is a power that can change us, not into monsters like in the Sci-Fi movies, but into agents of grace and peace in our homes, community and the world.
Scripture is filled with proclamations of the love God has for humanity and creation, and there is not enough space in this short devotion to try and list them all.  But perhaps the best known is the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians.  This is often called the “love chapter” and is regularly read at wedding services as an example of the love that we aspire to.  (Go give it a read!)
But, more than a human love, Paul writes these words first as a description of God’s perfect love and as a reminder that wherever love is found, there God will also be present.  God’s is a love that will not let us go, as the old hymn says (LBW #324).
What an astonishing and liberating revelation to know that the Maker of the Universe, the Almighty and Everlasting God, knows me and you – and loves us with a passion and a depth that is revealed on the cross.
On that hill God declares, for all eternity, that He will allow no barrier to separate us from His abiding love – not sin, nor its wages, death; not pain or suffering, or loneliness or guilt or shame.
Take time today (and every day!) to bask in the glow of that radiant love and the Spirit will change us.  The freedom of knowing with certainty that God’s love is for us enables us to reveal and enact that love in word and deed. 
In every sacrifice of time and energy performed by a parent for a child or child to parent – the love of God is revealed and made manifest.  With every act of kindness, generosity, hospitality or mercy offered to a friend, neighbor or stranger the love of God radiates.
May the love of God, which knows no bounds, fill our lives and radiate within and around us so that we might pray and live the words crafted by St.  Francis of Assisi:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred let us sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that we may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
Be blessed this week! 
Yours in Christ
