Eastertide

The celebration of Christ’s resurrection doesn’t end on Easter Sunday, there is a whole Easter season sometimes referred to as Eastertide. Eastertide is the first fifty days after Easter and leads up to Pentecost. This season reminds us of Christ’s resurrection and also includes Ascension Day. This season allows for the telling of the stories of Jesus’ life between the resurrection and Ascension.

Ascension Eastertide God's Love Love for Others

As I read through the lectionary readings for this season, many of them centered around love: God’s love for us and the call of Christ’s followers to love each other. Thus, that refrain echoes throughout these resources.. Another theme that began with Mark’s account of the women at the tomb is that of doubt and faith and how closely the two reside in each of us.

Ascension Eastertide Pentecost Resurrection of Jesus Christ Trinity Sunday

The liturgical church year and the “programmatic” church year often feel most at odds in the weeks when we celebrate Ascension, Pentecost, and Trinity Sunday. In the midst of children’s and family ministries winding down for the season and church staff and worship leaders beginning to sigh with relief after the holy (and blessed) busyness of the Easter season, it’s easy to lose sight of the significance of these important Sundays of the church year and the unique opportunities for teaching and worship they afford.
