All are welcome to this community gatheringJoin us today as we gather around the Peace Pole to offer our Prayers for Peace. We gather every Sunday at 4:00. 🕊️
It is with great joy that we welcome back the Joshua Prayer Group for their annual retreat. The HND is blessed by their presence and their prayers.
It’s a beautiful season to pray with your feet. Come and walk the Labyrinth and enjoy the grounds of PoP!
For this Easter Monday…The morning didn’t end yesterday.
It didn’t stay in the garden,
didn’t settle at the empty tomb
like something finished
and ready to be remembered.
It moves.
Into streets
and kitchens
and conversations that don’t yet know
they’re about to change.
We wake up again,
same rooms,
same routines,
same lists waiting for us,
and still
something has shifted.
He is risen.
He is risen indeed.
Not just a moment,
not just a day
we mark and move on from,
but a life
that keeps breaking in.
The God who is alive
doesn’t stay where we left Him,
doesn’t belong only
to Sunday morning light,
but walks into Monday,
into the ordinary,
into the places
we thought were untouched
by resurrection.
And we might miss it
if we’re not paying attention.
In the small turning of a heart,
in the quiet lifting of hope,
in the courage
to begin again
when nothing around us
has changed yet.
This is how it continues.
Not always loud,
not always obvious,
but steady,
like breath returning,
like light finding its way
through the edges of a day.
The God who is life
is not finished.
Not with the world.
Not with us.
And so we carry it forward,
not perfectly,
not fully understanding,
but alive to it,
this resurrection
that didn’t end on Sunday,
that keeps unfolding
right here,
right now,
in us.
