Sunday, March 31 @ 8am EDT
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they could go and anoint Jesus’ dead body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they came to the tomb. They were saying to each other, “Who’s going to roll the stone away from the entrance for us?” When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away. (And it was a very large stone!) Going into the tomb, they saw a young man in a white robe seated on the right side; and they were startled. But he said to them, “Don’t be alarmed! You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised. He isn’t here. Look, here’s the place where they laid him. Go, tell his disciples, especially Peter, that he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you.” Overcome with terror and dread, they fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
Mark 16:1-8 (CEB)
Join our virtual Easter sunrise service!
Richard Rohr says that “(r)esurrection and renewal are […] the universal and observable pattern of everything.”
We invite you to celebrate this Resurrection Sunday with the New Wineskins community as we gather in the New Wineskins Virtual Theology Pub powered by Zoom for a visual liturgy and brief conversation about the practical power of resurrection as part of the pattern of reality and how it shapes our work as a liberationist community.
Join us live at 8:00am EDT (7am CDT) on Sunday, March 31 … OR participate when it’s convenient for you! Following our live Zoom gathering, we’ll publish a short video from The Work of the People and open our Wineskins Workshops Facebook Group for discussion.
(PLEASE NOTE: Our Easter Sunrise gathering will be IN PLACE OF our regular Sunday evening experience…our next Sunday evening session will be on April 14 [see below])
Zoom connection will open just before 8:00am EDT. Video will begin around 8:05. Gathering should conclude by 8:30.
Discussion video available after the gathering
In case you can’t join us (or you’d just like to see it again!) our Easter Sunday discussion video from The Work of the People features “Enneagram Godmother” Suzanne Stabile on the patterns of life, death, and resurrection we witness every day (video available after 8:30am EDT Easter Sunday).
