Easter Sunday

On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. ~John 20:1

Alleluia! Christ is risen!

And with Him, hope rises too.

After 40 days of prayer, sacrifice, fasting, reflection, and intentional love, we now enter into the joy of the Resurrection - new life, new beginnings, and a new way of seeing all things through the lens of hope fulfilled.

Let this Easter season these next 50 days be more than a celebration. Let it be a commissioning. You are a witness to the truth that the tomb is empty. That healing is possible. That love is stronger than death. That hope has a name, and His name is Jesus.

LET US PRAY

Risen Lord, we praise You! Thank You for the gift of these last 40 days. Thank You for the habits formed, the hope restored, and the ways You have called us closer to You. May we now live as people of the Resurrection - awake, alive, and full of joy. Let hope shape the way we pray, fast, move, love, and serve. Be the center of our hearts, our health, our homes, and our marriages. You are our living hope. Alleluia, Amen!
