Stone Soup on Easter
We'll meet at Judd's Peak (aka Orchard Hill where we go for star gazing) at 6:45 a.m. (Sunrise is scheduled for 7:17 a.m. When the service is over, the Saluda Presbyterian Church will host a light breakfast for the community.

We'll go to Orchard Hill on Easter morning to celebrate God's resurrection mystery. We'll sing, hear scripture and preaching. But we go there because we go when it's dark and wait for the light. It is a daily mystery. It is an eternal mystery and as Rheinhold Niebuhr once said, "No preacher is up to the task on Christmas or Easter." Amen.
