Eastertide is the period after Easter Sunday and leading into Pentecost. This extended season gives us time to rejoice and experience what we mean when we say Christ is risen and that we, as the church, are the body of the Risen Lord. In a letter to the Peninsula-Delaware conference, Bishop LaTrelle Easterling provided focus for how we live into this special season: "I pray we will lean into the long arc of resurrection living, not simply celebrating what Christ has done, but participating in what Christ is still doing. Christ is still raising up communities with justice, healing wounds with love, and calling forth new life from places thought barren and broken."
