During the Easter season, many United Methodists sing, "Every day to us is Easter, with its resurrection song." These words open the last verse of "Easter People Raise Your Voices" (United Methodist Hymnal #304) penned by United Methodist pastor the Rev. William M. James. The hymn reminds us that we celebrate renewal every day.
As Easter people, we know that even in the tragedies of life, God is at work bringing renewal. Some of those renewals we get to experience: national revival, new church buildings and rebuilt homes. Others, like the death of a loved one, we wait to celebrate in the Kingdom of God to come." As Christians, we experience resurrection every day and are called to share it in our worship and work. Every day can be Easter, all year long.
