HOPE

Saturday, April 24, 2021 9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

There is a lovely Scottish proverb: Were it not for hope, the heart would break. Given the events of the past year, this quote seems truly appropriate for this day’s presentation. Actually, our hearts are well cared for because we are Christians, a resurrection people; and the central story of our faith leads from a brutal crucifixion to a wondrous, previously unimaginable, new life. Can we believe that this story continues in our midst? Scripture tells us that we can. As we will see, we are accompanied on our search for meaning by the God of Promise, who has told us: “Even to your old age and gray hairs, I am your God. I have made you. I will carry you. I will sustain you.” [Isaiah 46:4]
