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!
