Dear members of St. Mark’s Church,

What a joyful time our Easter Day celebrations provided!  The 50-day season of celebration has only begun, and I pray that all of this time will be crowned with joy.  Most especially, my hope is that we will continue to grow in the knowledge and love of the Lord and maintain the openness to his Will that so many gained through their observance of the disciplines of Lent.

I want to offer a word of thanks for all of the kind seasonal greetings I and my family have received.  The little Easter basket of goodies and good wishes left at my office door is a very kind expression of your love and support.  I also want to say a special “thank you” to the Altar Guild and all who served in special roles in the liturgies of Holy Week and Easter.  Everything—the adornment of the building, the ceremonial precision, the lovely music, the excellent readings, the participation of the congregation—everything contributed to our wonderful experience of the glory of God revealed in our risen Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you all, and God richly bless us in these glorious days.  Alleluia.

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Perkins+
