There is a magical place just over the pass in Victor that feels like a different world. Dragonfly Lane is the kind of land that slows life down the moment you step onto it. Aspen groves.

I am moving toward Easter this year (not just the Sunday, rather the whole season) with a particular measure of gratitude. As most of you know, I’ve been away recovering from surgery treating my prostate cancer.

A reflection on the meaning of Holy Week by Senior Warden, Brad Flynt As Holy Week approaches, it has given me an opportunity to reflect on how meaningful the Holy Week services are at St. John’s.
