ALLELUIA CHRIST IS RISEN
HE HAS RISEN INDEED ALLELUIA!

Easter Sunday the woman were met at the empty tomb by an angel telling them that Jesus is no longer dead.  He is alive!  We celebrate Christ resurrection as He conquered sin, death, and the devil.  May we continue to celebrate the new life that Christ has won for us.  May we boldly tell others that Christ is Risen, He has RISEN indeed, ALLELUIA!

As some of you know my Grandma passed away over Easter Break.  As my family will miss her (she only lived 2 blocks away from my house) we celebrate with Easter Joy the gift of eternal life.  Thank you for your prayers and kind words.

A LOOK AHEAD:
Memory: First Article of the Apostle's Creed
     I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
(if your child wants to say the whole Apostle's Creed all at once that is acceptable and he/she would be done with memory for the rest of the year!!)
