More than a year ago, the pandemic shut down Sunday services at St James’ Episcopal Church of Quitman.
Easter Sunday 2021, for the first time in more than a year, I and my church family gathered as a congregation inside the church building.
For the first time in more than a year we heard organist Emily Wall pour out her soul for us, in music.
For the first time in more than a year we witnessed priest Fr Jim Elliott pour out his heart for us, at the altar.
And we joined our hearts, over our masks and six feet apart, with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven to celebrate the risen Christ, the Christ within us all.
