Sermon by The Rev. Deena M. Galantowicz
I hope all of you shared in last Sunday’s Easter Worship one way or another. And how powerful it was!   The music was lovely, including the unforgettable solos.  Ted’s message was so thoughtful, and best of all, some were able to be here in this wonderful place of love and acceptance; and so many others were able to share from their homes. It truly was a glorious Easter morning!

What a year we have had … the pandemic, growing awareness of systemic racism in our communities, a contentious presidential election, and an insurrection at our nation’s capital.  This was made all the more difficult because we did not have access to this sacred space … this faith community … as a spiritual anchor.

A year ago we were just beginning to understand what the impact of COVID-19 might be.  Little did we know that over two and a half million people around the globe would die of this disease … almost five hundred fifty thousand in this country alone.  Little did we know that we would be stuck in our homes for over a year … that we would attend church by watching it on a TV, or a computer screen, or a tablet, or our smart phone.  Little did we know that we would not be able to hug parents, siblings, children, grandchildren.  Little did we know that loved ones would die alone … that the economic effects of the lockdown would stress some families to the limit … that people would fight about whether to wear a mask or not.
