Bishop-elect Sarah Fisher, along with some of our youth leaders, invites you to get ready for her ordination by learning one of the songs we'll be singing. Our youth do a great job of leading this joyful hymn! And if you'd like to hear and sing along with words, you can watch this video too.

This morning, Bishop Rob Skirving and Bishop-Elect Sarah Fisher celebrated the 3rd Sunday of Easter with the people of St. Andrew's On-the-Sound Episcopal Church in Wilmington. Fifteen members of the congregation were confirmed today, and posed for a picture after the exchange of the peace. Special good news was celebrated today, as the congregation has learned this week that their next rector has been called and will begin ministry with them in a short time. An East Carolina welcome to the Rev. BJ Buracker and his family! And grateful thanks to Deacon Susan Cushinotto and the Rev. Michael Singer who continue to provide clergy leadership during their pastoral interim.

While Bishop Skirving continues to preach and lead worship each week, Bishop-Elect Fisher sits in the congregation and works hard before and after worship to meet as many people as she can. After her ordination on May 23rd, she will be the one preaching and celebrating!

An extra treat for Bishop Skirving was the chance to preach and lead worship with the congregation's Saturday evening Celtic liturgy.

All in all, a joyful celebration of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus!

Thanks to Tracy Ryder Hanson for the photograph.
