Easter Sunday 2024 at The Garden

Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes • March 27, 2024

And So it Goes: The Good, the Bad, and the Tiny Space in Between

When Kurt Vonnegut’s father was dying, he said to his son, ‘I want to thank you because you’ve never put a villain in any of your stories.’ On Easter Sunday, we will further explore the idea that, in some way or another, we all have human elements and divine possibilities in this world. We like to think of Judas as the villain in the Easter story, but the truth is we all have aspects of Judas in our personalities. The good news is we also have aspects of Jesus as well. It’s just what choices we make in living the Easter story. This Easter Sunday, we looked at… ‘The Good, the Bad, and the Tiny Space in Between.’
