A sermon by Rev. Rebecca White Newgren at Second Congregational UCC / First Presbyterian PCUSA Church of Rockford, Illinois

“Today is new life, resurrection, joy, hope and anticipation. Jesus died on Friday and took with Him all that holds you back from living life to its fullest. And today in the place where darkness and fear once occupied in your heart is the spirit of new life, new opportunity, and new beginnings.” – Rev Rebecca White Newgren
