Love Boldly: Known by Our Love

April draws us into the heart of our faith—the Upper Room where Jesus gave us a new commandment: “Love one another… By this everyone will know that you are my disciples” (John 13:34–35). In Holy Week, we witness how far that love goes: washing feet, sharing bread, taking up the cross, and rising with a love that conquers death.

The Easter story invites us to live boldly in that love — a love that heals, restores, and proclaims hope to the world. In this month we also observe Earth Day and World Malaria Day, reminders that bold love moves beyond words into compassion for God’s creation and care for our global neighbors.

May these resources help your congregation remember who we are: disciples known by our love — love that serves, love that sacrifices, and love that lives again.
