Happy Easter!
No school tomorrow; Good Friday, April 14
|
 Easter means different things to different people. For some it's about candy and toys. For others, it's about family get-togethers and represents the comfort and warmth of home. To still others, Easter Sunday is just another day... God is not involved. But to many, and to us at Arma Dei Academy, Resurrection Sunday is much, much more. To us Easter represents a connection to something and Someone greater; there is a meaning that is infinitely deeper.
To those who have put their faith and trust in Jesus, Easter is power, purpose, passion and the presence of God! As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday, may we remember that "life is worth the living, just because He lives!" |
Join us on Saturday, Apr 15 for the Highlands Ranch Community Association Easter Egg Hunt beginning at 10:00 a.m. sharp.
