Hello, and Happy May, CLC!
I write “May” with a little bit of trembling hands, as this month brings a whole new level of meaning for me and my family. Our eldest child, Abbey, will be graduating at the end of this month as she finishes her high school career. This month will mark a lot of “lasts” for her and will close a beautiful chapter of her life. This chapter also means saying goodbye to a lot of the things we have been used to over the years—the patterns of school, routines, activities, even just the daily signs of her in our house. Soon she will be starting a brand-new chapter at college—one that will be different, but new and exciting.
The beginning of a new chapter is always a bit anxiety-inducing, as we don’t know exactly how things are going to go. We like the comfort and predictability of how things currently are, and we get a little nervous about the future. Will I handle things well? Will things work out the way I hope them to? Will I still be the same person?
Easter is a season of radical change—Jesus Christ rose from the grave! He was dead and is now alive! Everything is new because of this. The good news is that we can look ahead in our lives—whatever the chapter and change is– with real hope because we know that Christ’s presence and love is real.
I love that our congregation is making things fresh and new in our church building. Cleaning, repurposing, refreshing, and imagining are taking place to create more welcoming spaces for the body of Christ. A new chapter for CLC. Sometimes it’s hard to let go of some of the former things, but we know that as we belong to Christ, He is always making things new. Of course, the most important part is that we are making new room in our hearts and lives to truly make people feel welcome and at home here so that they know they belong and are loved by God.
Christ is making all things new. I pray that this month of May is a time where you are feeling renewed in Christ’s love for you and that you feel compelled to share that love with those around you. May we strive to look forward with hope with every chapter turn.
“So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!” 2 Corinthians 5:17
In Christ’s renewing love,
Pastor Julia
