Easter Sunday
We continue our journey from the Good Friday. The Easter story continues for the Good Friday’s ending song by our choir, “O Sacred Head, Now Wounded”, and we enter the story of Mary’s witness account of the first Easter Sunday. What was Mary’s witness to that morning. Mary’s witness moves from a place of darkness and uncertainty to hope, joy and celebration. How about you? What is your resurrection story? What does Jesus’ Resurrection mean for you?
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Sisters and brothers in Christ, celebrate Easter worship with us. The Easter celebration is filled with gifts of guest musicians, our choir, spoken words, songs, prayers, celebration of baptism of Kiara Isabelle Iyengar and Atousa Daliri, and receiving a new member, Joyce Ann Thompson and a homily. An intimate time of followship will follow the services.
Please bring fresh cut flowers for children to decorate the Easter Cross this Sunday!
Children will remain in worship with their family and they will be dismissed to go Easter Egg hunt right after the service. The children will experience the Easter Sunday with our intergenerational families and will receive activity sheets and hands on materials to engage their minds and hearts in worship.
We are designating our Easter Offering towards building up our Children and the Joint Youth Program with our circuit churches. Help us empower our children and youth in their faith journey. Through your gifts, our children and youth will know the breadth of God’s love and grace. We bless them to be faithful disciples for the transformation of the world.
Come and join us.
