THERE IS NO SATURDAY WORSHIP ON April 3, 2010
SUNDAY IS Easter SUNDAY We begin our worship with the return of the Alleluia banner, which signifies that we are an Easter people, and the singing of the “alleluia,” which helps us express our relationship with God and His transforming power. The Alleluia banner will be hung for all to see. We then continue with the liturgy of light and the blessing of the Paschal Candle, which symbolizes Christ’s breaking of the darkness of sin and death to bring us the Easter victory. The Paschal Candle will shine as our symbol of the resurrection throughout the Easter season, at all baptisms and at all funerals here at Faith Lutheran Church. After the blessing, the day is proclaimed with the ancient Easter shout, joyous songs, and the Word of God that proclaims the victory of Christ for us all. We pray the blessings of the Risen Lord are yours this day and always.

Jesus did not finish His years on earth as other humans, resting in a tomb, flesh decaying. He experienced life after death; life outside the tomb. As baptized children of God we too have opportunity to live outside the tomb. As He was brought back from death to life, so we, too, can live a new kind of life outside the tomb.
