Family Prayer
Third Sunday of Easter
We are all witnesses to all this.
- The trial of the disciples described in Acts was their second trial before the Sanhedrin (the highest court of justice in Jerusalem).
- The disciples were arrested for disobeying the order to never speak in Jesus’ name again.
- In today's passage, the order not to speak of Jesus is repeated by the Sanhedrin.
The Lamb that was sacrificed is worthy to be given power, wealth, glory, and blessing.
- The vision from Revelation presents the heavenly witness to the Risen Christ.
- The hymn of praise begins with the voice of angels, all living creatures, and the elders.
- The response comes from every creature in heaven and on earth, everything in the universe.
Jesus stepped forward, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
- After the resurrection, the disciples returned to their homes in Galilee and to their former occupation of fishing.
- Suddenly, the appearance of the Risen Christ transforms all aspects of the disciples' lives.
- In the final chapter of today's Gospel, Peter's three denials of Jesus are matched by Jesus' threefold commission to take care of his flock.

A Message from Mr. Oberdorf
I hope everyone enjoyed Easter break. It was exciting to return knowing the playground would be ready for use. Monday, April 25 was the first day the students were able to play on the new playground equipment. I announced at our Monday morning prayer service that the playground was ready to be used and the students let out a loud cheer. The buzz continued until first recess. Every student, K4-4th grade, was on the equipment for morning recess. Our children were smiling, laughing, climbing, sliding, and spinning. It was a great first day on the playground and the fun has continued throughout the week. I am sure the playground fun will continue for years to come.
