Can These Bones Live

Valley of dry bones

The reflection by Rev. Jeanne Randall-Bodman presented on March 22, 2026.

“As Ezekiel calls us to speak prophetically in places of exile and loss, Jesus calls us to find what is trapped in tombs, and wound in death cloths, and unbind them, and set them free…

“Resurrection is a group project, and it is our calling. Resurrection in this life, and into the next, is the promise of the gospel. So I pray that we may find the courage and the clarity to claim the promise of life and freedom; the courage and clarity to work together, to extend the promise; to speak, and vote, and act for the unbinding of each and every one of God’s children.”

Liberating Words:

  • Ezekiel 37: 1-14

  • John 11: 1-45
