Mike Kelly Law Group is closed today in observance of Good Friday, the most solemn day of the Christian year. But there is good news—Sunday is coming! “Blessed be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead”! 1 Peter 1:3

Those who share my faith recognize Easter Sunday as the day of the Resurrection, which I view to be the most significant Christian holiday. The Resurrection has come to be celebrated as an offer of daily hope that love and the good of God will triumph over evil and sin. And it is in furtherance of this principle that the community nonprofit ministry Resurrections combats the hardships that so many of our neighbors face by offering food, services, and provisions to those who may otherwise have lost their daily hope.

One of many wonderful community programs organized by Resurrections is Lunch on the Lawn, which takes place each Saturday in the parking lot here at the Mike Kelly Law Group. Though we play just a very small role in this significant effort, my firm is honored to contribute to this program. Lunch on the Lawn, through the hard work of dedicated volunteers, provides a free, hearty meal to our hungry brothers and sisters; however, far more than food is served at this event. Resurrections has succeeded in cultivating an atmosphere that brings members from all corners of the community together to break down barriers and build mutual understanding and alliances. It is through this relationship-building that Lunch on the Lawn makes a lasting impact on hunger and homelessness.

Resurrections is made possible through the generosity of the community, and I hope you all will consider becoming part of the movement! If you are interested in becoming involved with Resurrections or learning more about its programs, please visit the organization’s Facebook page here.
