Here in Zambia, I gathered with five congregations in the Lusaka city area for Easter weekend celebrations.  There were workshops, shared meals, worship, singing, and on Easter morning, we even marched on the side of the highway in front of the church to share the good news that Jesus is risen!  Yesu, a uka! 

In more good news, I’m sharing my April 2023 newsletter as a PDF. The Newsletter is also available to view and download on my blog: alongwithpastorkristin.blogspot.com. Please share the Newsletter with your congregation and anyone who might be interested.
