Start Here Video TranscriptKate Bowler: So it's Easter, but Easter isn't just a day in the Christian calendar. It's like a whole thing. It's a whole season. It's 50 days. And so together as a community, we are going to explore what it means to be living in Easter in a season of suffering and fear and uncertainty when we just don't quite know when it's going to be OK. So we're going to gather here looking for signs of hope. How do we see it? Where do we find it? I was talking to a really smart, cool friend the other day who is a New Testament scholar. And he was saying, what are the parts of the Easter story that we would not have maybe noticed if we hadn't been living inside of this pandemic? How does it feel to read it now? And we settled on the image of light and dark that like in that whole stretch between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Maybe that felt longer this year. Maybe it feels like it's just going on and on. But at the very beginning of the Easter story, when they're just about to go find out that Jesus's body is gone and there's this little phrase, which is while it was yet dark, they head out looking for signs of Jesus, like while it was yet dark. And so I thought, wow, that's so beautiful and such a great example of what we can do together, how we can surround one another with signs of hope in a season where it is still dark. So I hope that you'll share like a song or a moment or some kind of little spark that helped you see a sign of hope in this first bit of Easter. And so that we can be together as a community bearing witness to each other of what it means to live Easter in this season. So I hope you'll join us. ................
