\nFirst Reading ~ Matthew 21:1-11
\nSecond Reading ~ an ancient fable <\/a>
\nRev. Emma Chattin & Rev. Lori McPherson Preaching<\/strong>
\nNew Beginnings<\/em>
\nFor the disciples and followers, their whole world had come apart, everything rearranged. Some of them angry, some lost, some in denial, some disillusioned. All different.
\nAll they could do was pick up the pieces and somehow try to move on.
\nThey can’t go back to who they were, and they don’t yet know who they are.
\nAll that remains… is to do a new thing… and begin again.<\/p>\n
