This weekend made me all kinds of grateful. First and foremost, what Jesus has done for us is simply incredible. Full stop. Secondly, pulling off two special services and an Easter dinner in the course of 48 hours is a challenge, to say the least. But, everywhere I looked, people were leading and serving and engaging with one another. So. Very. Grateful.

Thank you to our music and tech teams for the weeks of preparation, to the Pastoral team for on-point messages and spiritual leadership, to Margaret and her team for engaging the kids and teaching them to lead us in worship, to the meal team who put in many hours to prepare and serve with excellence, to the host team who rose to the challenge of a standing-room-only Sunday service, to Taltiha, who spent a ridiculous number of hours sewing our tablecloth together on Friday and Saturday, and to each one who went above and beyond to serve others. You see why I love Easter so much? It's the best of everything!

In all the busyness leading up to Easter, something very cool happened that we didn't get the chance to talk about. I tried to share it on our Facebook page but it was removed because of the news ban. (Oy!) So, I share it here with so much joy. As CBC Radio was in Williamsburg to do a feature on our neighbourhood's history and new development, Pastor Erin was interviewed and then invited to go on the radio to be interviewed again. She nailed it! I encourage you to take a few minutes to read the article and listen to the six-minute interview as well. You'll feel proud to be a part of this church family and excited about what God is doing in and through us.

With much gratitude,
Pastor Tracy
