St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church

Pastor’s Message - May, 2022

This month we continue celebrating the 50 days of Easter and we also celebrate Mothers’ Day.

Mothers’ day is one day we all recognize the gift of our mother. But, we should do that every day. We were formed by the love of our mother and father, who nurtured us and guided us as best as they could. They brought us to faith by their faith through the waters of baptism. Because of this event, we are connected to the church, nurtured by Word and Sacrament, and called to live a life that reflects the presence of Christ.

Jesus has entered an intimate relationship with us, and as such, has connected us to the Father. As a result, our lives can never be the same. Sometimes we allow our concerns to interfere in this life-giving relationship. We drift away and forget the reason Jesus died and rose for us. If we stay connected to him, we not only bask in his love but in the new life he gained for us in the resurrection.

I want to wish all the mothers of Saint Peter’s a very Happy Mother’s day. In whatever way our mothers are recognized, it is important that we celebrate their lives. For our mothers who in heaven we remember them with love always.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Rev. Perucy N. Butiku
