For Lent, C4C presented a lesson with Paperwhite bulbs to our Sunday School. While the children planted them, we talked about bulbs as being potential plants which grow when nourished by sunshine, water and soil. We compared them to people nourished by God’s love, studying His word, and living in the world He created. A child finished the lesson by saying “We bloom when we love other people and help them.”
Amen. May you also bloom this Blessed Easter.

Have you witnessed an injustice and stood silently or even walked away? It’s likely we can all access some event in our memory. Recent injustices described in news stories and even captured on video for us all to watch in horror have caused me to reflect on what my role is in this current state of unrest in our country. I’ve wondered, at times, if I even have a role to play.
Our January Rector’s Book Club gathering at Christ & St. Luke’s centered on Rowan Williams’ slim but spiritually dense volume, “Being Disciples.” As the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Williams is known for high-level theological thinking, yet our group found this book remarkably accessible and “joyful,” with one member noting they read it in a single sitting.
This month we reflected on a variety of readings as planned, but also added in framing and discussion around the killing of Old Dominion Graduate Renee Good, this week, and the Christian faith of love and kindness that guided her as a queer Christian.
At Christ & St. Luke’s, we are a community that seeks to connect tradition with progress and faith with action. One of the most tangible ways we are living out our mission is through our commitment to environmental stewardship and our partnership with Tidewater Compost.
