Last Sunday’s Reflection
Sunday, April 5, 2026
Reflection by Rev. Leon Dunkley
Sanctuary Is a Blessing To Be Lived: An Easter Reflection
A sanctuary is a consecrated holy place (like a shrine or church, like a river or an ocean, like a forest or a desert or a range of mountains). It is a haven that offers refuge from danger, persecution, or hunting. It is also known as the inward and most precious place of the soul that comes alive again this time of year. What does sanctuary mean for you?
