We are grateful for Bishop Rayford High and his wife the Rev. Ann Normand who joined us in worship this past Sunday, April 11,2021. Bishop High encouraged us to remember that Jesus returned after his resurrection to show love and grace to the very disciples who had abandoned him.  He noted "Jesus had a pretty good view of the crowd from the cross at Golgotha. He could see than all but one of his disciples was nowhere in sight, despite their promises to follow him to the end."  
He reminded us that if Jesus returned to show mercy and grace to them when they abandoned him, so too will he show mercy and grace to us when we fail in our ministries,  and discipleship.
