This is not the first Easter I have spent away from the congregation at Zion’s Evangelical Lutheran Church. During the first year of the pandemic, we were unable to participate in our traditional Holy week services. This year, it’s not COVID that has separated me from my Lutheran brothers and sisters. I’m absent by choice because I’ve moved to a new church.
