Body
“They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body.” --Luke 24:2-3 NRSV In the United Methodist Church, my denomination, we begin our new appointments to new churches in July. Traditionally we have an annual conference in June where, among other business, the bishop sets the new assignments of clergy. So there are always Methodist preachers preaching first sermons in July, looking at what new chapter has begun. I am not moving this year, but I hear lots of conversations about new beginnings.
