Happy Easter!
This weekend, we’ve reached the grand finale of our Infinitely More
We’re thrilled to share our Easter video!
Featuring our very special guest preacher, Bishop Susan Bell of the Anglican Diocese of Niagara.
We’re also debuting a brand new song by Gerald called Impossible Sunrise.
Don’t you just love that title?
Impossible Sunrise…
Lenten Musical Calendar - Happy Easter!
We created this video in a swirl of emotions.
Our parents have finally received their first doses of the Covid-19 vaccine! Spring flowers are bursting through the ground. It finally feels like there’s hope on the horizon.
But case numbers are on the rise here in Ontario.
We’ve entered yet another lockdown. Medical authorities fear this may not be enough to quell the rise of the variants. We are all exhausted by the isolation, the uncertainty, and the constant stream of bad news.
For the second year in a row, we’re celebrating Easter - a story of new life -
in a season marked by suffering, illness, and death.
How does any of this make sense?
And then, I remember that song title again:
IMPOSSIBLE Sunrise.
The angel tells Mary, “For with God, nothing shall be impossible.”
Jesus says, “... with God all things are possible.”
God says, “I am the Lord... Is anything too hard for me?”
On Easter morning, the women arrived with spices in their hands.
They were ready to anoint a body.
Instead, they came face-to-face with the God of the Impossible.
This is the God who gives knowledge to scientists and medical experts.
The God who can heal our communities of political and racial strife.
The God who can revive our struggling arts communities and small businesses.
The God who can strengthen weary essential workers.
The God who can rebuild marriages breaking under close quarters,
and relationships suffering from too much distance.
This is the God who can bring gratitude grace, love, and joy
into our tired, pandemic-weary hearts.
Take a deep breath.
Remember who God is.
And then remember: this is the God who loves YOU!
This Easter, more than ever, may we experience the God of the Impossible!
“And the world awakes to an Impossible Sunrise!
Yes, we finally believe when we see the love in His eyes.
Yes, the world awakes to an Impossible Sunrise!”
Impossible Sunrise
