As I continue preparing for Voices in the Stacks – A Community Book Festival at the Durham East Regional Library, these past few months have been both full and deeply rewarding. In the midst of it all, I wanted to pause and remind you that you are in my prayers.
As we enter this sacred season, I pray that you and your loved ones experience a blessed and joy-filled Easter Sunday—Resurrection Sunday, as we celebrate the risen Christ and the promise of new life through Him.
Let us join together in faith and gratitude as we reflect on the powerful words of Scripture:
1 Peter 1:3 (NIV) – “Praise to God for a Living Hope” Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
May this living hope renew your spirit, strengthen your faith, and fill your heart with peace and purpose.
You’re Invited!
I am delighted to invite you to Voices in the Stacks: A Community Book Festival, a heartfelt gathering of local authors, readers, and storytellers right here in Durham, North Carolina.
Join us on April 18, 2026, for an inspiring afternoon filled with books, connection, and community. Whether you come to discover a new favorite author, enjoy live readings, or simply be surrounded by the joy of storytelling, there is something waiting just for you.
