Dear Family and Friends of First UMC of Torrance,
As we celebrate and journey through the Easter season, let us reflect on the profound message of resurrection that continues to shape our lives and community. We are indeed Easter people, called for the specific purpose of embracing the true hope and renewal that the resurrection of Jesus Christ brings to our hearts and our community.
In the wake of Easter Sunday, we are reminded that the story of resurrection is not merely a historical event but a living reality that resides within us. It is a message of transformation and new beginnings, challenging us to see the world through the eyes of faith and love.
As Easter people, we are entrusted with the task of sharing this message of hope with others, to be voices spreading the Good News to a world often shrouded in darkness. Let us strive to embody the spirit of resurrection in our daily lives, bringing forgiveness, healing, reconciliation, and joy to those around us.
May we never forget the power that the message of resurrection has had on the world, inspiring hearts and minds with the promise of eternal life. Let us continue to realize this message in our words and actions, making a tangible difference in our reality.
As we move forward from Easter toward Pentecost, let us remain steadfast in our faith and action, knowing that we are called to be agents of transformation in a world yearning for the light of Christ’s love.
Wishing you all a blessed and joyous continuation of the Easter Season.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Jacob
