Easter Orients Us | The Rev. Liz Costello | Easter (2026)

"Easter proclaims that if this is true, everything changes."

Mother Liz Costello reflects on how resurrection gives direction to our lives—much like the mountains of the Pacific Northwest help us find our way. In a world full of noise, distraction, and uncertainty, Easter invites us to pause, lift our heads, and remember what is true.

The resurrection proclaims that death is not the end, that love is stronger than hate, and that our lives—even now—are being drawn toward new life in God.

Through the witness of the women at the tomb and the invitation to “rejoice,” this sermon calls us to live as Easter people—reoriented toward hope, connection, and the enduring presence of God.
