Dear John,
Typically, I write you asking for assistance with my campaign for Congress. However, today, I will instead reflect on the important commemoration those of the Christian faith observe as we reflect on the ultimate act of life and sacrifice demonstrated by Jesus Christ.
On Good Friday, Christians remember God's grace and promise of redemption. As many of you know, my father, John Maher, is the pastor at Calvary Chapel Church in Tulare. I grew up in the church. Easter weekend, beginning with Good Friday, has always been a special remembrance for our family, culminating in the Sunday Easter celebration.
The faith that my wife and I have and are now nurturing in our two boys, is essential to who we are. Our Constitution protects religious liberty, not just for Christians but for people of all faiths. It is one of our fundamental rights and one we must protect and preserve. So today, I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very happy and blessed Easter weekend.
Thank you, as always, for your support and prayers. Let's celebrate the freedom, right, and opportunity we all have to gather and worship.
Sincerely,
|
