A poem from the Iona Community in Scotland captures the emotion and message of Holy Week:
All our laughter, all our sadness;
Safe now in God's hands.
All our anger, all our gladness;
Safe now in God's hands.
All our stories, all our memories;
Safe now in God's hands.
Those we remember, those we love;
Safe now in God's hands.
On Easter at 7:00 am we will have a sunrise service which begins in our columbarium and finishes in our chapel with communion and then with a lite breakfast. As we remember our our loved ones who have gone before us we remember what God in Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross. We remember that we and they "are safe now in God's hands."
