Lent and Easter Resources

  • Resurrection Hope: Still Possible Today by Harriett Jane Olson
    04/08/2012 The story of Holy Week is a mix of conversations between the closest of companions and the “wide angle” pageantry of festival season in Jerusalem. What do we make of the story’s ending?
  • Standing by God in a Time of Sorrow by Carmen Faye-Sanford Vianese
    04/06/2012 As we continue our journey this Lenten season from the cross of sacrifice and sorrow to the gift of resurrection and salvation, let us not lose hope.
  • They Will Know We Are Christians by Our Love by Nancy Bearden
    04/05/2012 We are to love others based on Jesus’ sacrificial love for us. Such love will not only bring unbelievers to Christ; it will also keep believers strong and united.
  • Draw Closer to God by Tupou Seini Kelemeni
    04/01/2012 My wish for you and me this Palm Sunday is that we draw closer to God because God’s love and grace is sufficient for all of us to share.
  • Give Yourself Away by Judi Nibbelink
    03/25/2012 Are we truly followers of the Christ or are we simply admirers of Jesus?
  • Ramon by Matt Morgan
    03/18/2012 Ramon has been in and out of prison for most of his life, mostly for drug-related offenses, both using and selling. He is HIV positive, has mental health issues and has burned most of his bridges with friends or family.
  • It’s Time to Overturn the Tables by Laura Kirby
    03/11/2012 In a Sunday school class I was in years ago we were asked, “Is anger a sin?” The incident described in John 2:13-22, in which Jesus turns over the tables of the moneychangers and those selling goods in the temple, is one of the most often cited examples of Jesus displaying anger.
  • Getting Our Act Together by Kelli Williams
    03/04/2012 Each spring at Alaska Children’s Services a wonderful community event happens. It’s our Spring Banquet and Talent Show. The name of the event is “Get Your Act Together!” It’s a very tongue-in-cheek title that slips by many.
  • Can a Rainbow Come in the Clouds Without an Ark First? by Rosângela Oliviera
    02/26/2012 The last time I saw a bow in the clouds, colorful like a rainbow, was this past January. I was in São Paulo, Brazil, and a summer shower came over us in the streets. Then came the sun. Behind the buildings, there it was: a rainbow.
  • Coming to Terms With God by Glory E. Dharmaraj
    02/16/2012 Time and change are each the other’s measure. A life span may be two millennia for a sequoia tree or a day for a mayfly. But it is still one life.
  • A Community of Women by Judi Nibbelink, director, Women's Division
    04/23/2011 It is on this day, this Saturday between Good Friday and Easter, that I truly understand the significance of United Methodist Women and what this bond of community means in my life.
  • The Gift of Good Friday by Carmen Faye Sanford-Vianese, director, Women's Division
    04/22/2011 Isaiah foretold of God's plan to fix it all. God would have to take on our iniquity. To do so, God had to become a human being who could experience physical death.
  • Let Us Serve One Another by Tupou Seini Kelemeni, director, Women's Division
    04/21/2011 We have been empowered by the Holy Spirit, just like the disciples, to go out and serve and love others.
  • A Last Meal by Kathy Booker, president, Southeastern Jurisdiction
    04/20/2011 When reflecting on the Last Supper and what's occurring in the world today, how many of our sisters and brothers are having their last meal due to the economy, poverty or unforeseen circumstances like natural disasters?
  • The Joy That Comes in the Morning by Ilda G. Vasquez, president, South Central Jurisdiction
    04/19/2011 Jesus predicted his death and tells the crowd, "While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light."
  • The Freedom of Humbleness by Sabrina White, president, Northeastern Jurisdiction
    04/17/2011 Jesus came to Jerusalem some 2000 years ago, humble, and mounted on a donkey, with a colt, the foal of a donkey (beast of burden). Luke tells us Jesus wept "as he came near and saw the city" because they "did not recognize the time of [their] visitation from God"
  • Predictions by Lois R. Travillon, president, North Central Jurisdiction
    04/16/2011 Just as Jesus was focused on people, United Methodist Women members are focused on women, children and youth.
