Family Prayer 

Easter Sunday

Reading I : Acts 10:34, 37-43

After Jesus was raised from the dead, we ate and drank with Him.

• In the first reading, Peter's speech is a typical recital of the essential preaching about Christ.
• Peter and all the disciples are commissioned to bear witness to the good news.
• Those who received their commission from the Risen Lord were eyewitnesses of his glory.

Reading II : Colossians 3:1-4

You have died!

• Paul uses the image of yeast to remind the Corinthian community that one person's evil influence can harm the whole community.
• The image of unleavened bread is used to expose our need to purify ourselves.
• In the context of the Easter celebration, we are reminded to renew our Baptism.

Gospel : John 20:1-9

Mary Magdalene came to the tomb.

• In the Gospel of John, Mary runs to tell Peter and John about the empty tomb.
• John is the first to arrive at the tomb which shows his special position as the beloved disciple.
• Upon entering the empty tomb, John makes his profession of faith, "he saw and believed."

An Easter Prayer

Lord, help us to live in the gladness and grace of Easter Sunday, every day. Let us have hearts of thankfulness for your sacrifice. Let us have eyes that look upon your grace and rejoice in our salvation. Help us to walk in that mighty grace and tell your good news to the world. Amen.

Have a happy Easter!

Music and Movement

Our K4 through 4th-grade students have been working on music and movement during music classes. After weeks of practice, the students performed their choreographed dances for their classmates. 

Our 5th graders also showed their expertise on their recorders. 

There were plenty of smiles and laughs as the students performed. It was an outstanding performance. 

Thank you to Mrs. Weyer for all your patience and support.
