The Fifth Sunday of Easter
May 3, 2026
Joan summarized some stories about trees from children’s books that she has loved. Then she talked about a tree that was originally planted in a large pot on the balcony, where her little daughter, Jenny, watered it faithfully. When Jenny died at the age of three, Joan and her husband Doug moved the sapling to Dayspring, where it flourishes as a memorial. The photograph at right shows what Jenny’s tree looks like now. The text of Joan’s Word is not yet available.
