On Sunday, April 24 we will honour an ancient tradition of the Church. On the first Sunday after Easter we will celebrate God’s victory over death with great joy and gales of laughter (Presbyterian-style). Ancestors in faith imagined Jesus mocking the Devil and gleefully unlocking the gates of Hell. Perhaps we can just take the day to have a big, deep breath after the sorrow and suspense of Holy Week and Good Friday, and the suspense of Easter morning.
We’ll also ordain and induct Elders, appropriate for a time of great joy!
