Holding the Hope of Resurrection for Each Other

Lent will soon become a memory as Holy Week and Easter approach. Our journey together has included celebrations of Black History Month and Women’s History Month, as well as forums, trainings, retreats, prayers, celebrations, Sister Circles, and so much more! Life is often in flux, and Lent helps to acknowledge the journey. I hope you have seen the weekly reflections on FaceBook and that clergy have received a weekly video of encouragement. We need to help hold up the hope of resurrection for one another.

DCBC is looking forward to the days of Resurrection Celebration! What will you do to celebrate? How will you declare Christ is risen? Will it be quietly or bombastically? Share your stories and pictures with us at cb@dcbaptist.org so we can share them with others! How will you celebrate Mother’s Day — or maybe you will not? That’s ok. Leadership requires asking how, why, what, et cetera!

One of the areas the Ministry Roundtable has been working on is training and equipping leaders. We know that many leaders need to know how to do specific jobs in the church and community, but there also are skills and tools they need to be most effective. On April 29, we hope all leaders within your congregation and community will join us for a Leadership Training Forum. You will have the opportunity to add to your leadership toolbox as we gather to learn some new things!

Hope, Resurrection, Leadership…these three are all on my mind and heart these days. I would love to visit with you and learn what’s on your heart. Email me at Trisha.Manarin@dcbaptist.org so we can set a date!

Let’s hold the hope of resurrection for each other!

Joy and Grace, Rev. Dr. Trisha Miller Manarin Executive Director/Minister
