Second Sunday of Easter 4/11/21

The second Sunday of Easter, April 11, 2021. We are Trinity Lutheran Church in Brattleboro, VT. Our Service today, as it has been for the last few weeks, is in-person, with safe communion, masks, safe distancing, and by reservation. Each week we live-stream to Facebook and then post the service video to YouTube, our website, and to Channel 1075 on local television station BCTV. We are joined today by Rev. Steven Wilco, Assistant to the Bishop of the New England Synod ELCA, who gave the sermon. Today's texts show us two pictures of the post resurrection community - one of fear, anxiety and being closed off, and one of trust, abundance and sharing. Does this relate today? How do we move from one community to the other? Pastor Randy asks, are we Easter people living in a Good Friday world? Preaching today is Rev. Steven Wilco, Assistant to the Bishop of the ELCA New England Synod, Pastor Randall Wilburn presides, Jeff Herman-May assists today, Micaela Carlton Newton is our reader today, and our talented musician Laura Josephs is on piano.
