Easter Sunday begins the holy season of Easter--not a day, but a season of 50 days, including seven Sundays and the Day of the Ascension, remembering when the Risen Lord gave the Great Comission to the disciples before ascending to God. Every Sunday in this season is an Easter and it is a time for true joy and celebration. Our Easter Sunday schedue includes a Sunrise Service in the Pavilion, led by the youth at 7.30 am; Easter breakfast at 8.30 am; Sunday School at 9.30 am and Easter Worship at 10.30 am. Our Scripture for Sunday includes Acts 10.34-43: Peter addresses Cornelius' household about Jesus. Cornelius is a Roman Centurion and a 'God-fearer,' a term used for a Gentile who is interested in the Jewish God. God directs the gospel to be shared with this man, and by extension, to all Gentiles. The Old Testament reading, which we will use as an Act of Praise is Isaiah 25.1, 8-9: praising God for his plan to 'remove the shroud cast over the nations;' finally, the gospel is John's Resurrection story where Jesus addresses Mary in John 20.1-18.
Christ is Risen!
Christ is Risen, indeed!
