The Slow Miracle of Spring

Where we live, spring doesn’t arrive all at once. It negotiates its way in.
One day the wind still bites, and the next you find yourself standing outside without a jacket, wondering when that happened. The snow retreats in stubborn patches, the ground softens, and there is that unmistakable smell of earth coming back to life.

It is not dramatic. It is not flashy.
But it is resurrection.

Not the kind with trumpets and bright lights—but the kind that happens quietly, persistently, faithfully. The kind that reminds us that life has been at work all along, even when everything looked frozen and still.

And isn’t that the Easter message?
That life continues even when we think it has stopped.
That hope is never as far away as it feels.
That God is always doing something new—even in places we had given up on.And as we continue to notice these quiet signs of new life around us, there is much happening in the life of our community.

What’s happening at St. Paul’s

The walls were filled with the voices of the festival this past week. It is always so great to see folks of all ages and stages of life living out their experiences through the performing arts.

The S.A.I.L. sing-along will be held on April 21, 2026 at 1:30 p.m.—this is always a great time of song and fellowship.

Tickets are still available for the Mother’s Day supper on May 10, 2026—rumor has it they are going to have the best homemade desserts in town that night.

On May 17, we will celebrate Holy Humor Sunday—I invite you to get your best jokes ready and maybe even a silly costume or hat if you’re up for it.

As we patiently wait on the miracle of spring, I pray you find warmth in the wind, sunshine on your face, and signs of new life all around you.
