Easter Sounds Absurd. That Might Be the Point

Easter Message by Rev. Greg Powell

Let me get this straight: some guy is killed but comes back to life after they put his body in a sealed cave and now we get to live forever? And we call that Easter?

Take a moment to read Rev. Greg’s beautiful message from the April edition of James Bay Beacon — now available on our website.

A Note of Apology: No Livestream Today

Due to technical difficulties and a temporary staff shortage, we were unfortunately unable to launch today’s livestream of the Service.

We are truly sorry for this and understand how important it is to be able to join from home.

Our Easter Service livestream should function as usual, and we look forward to being together with you then.
