Easter Sunday

Easter Memes 2018 Risen Sea 1200

 

Easter Sunday is here. Each congregation has traditions surrounding Easter Sunday that reflect the diverse contexts and communities that gather in our local churches. And praise God for those traditions! They are markers of the years the congregation has gathered and celebrated the Risen Christ and the commitment we make to one another to live as Resurrection people.

The Easter Season is the most joyous and celebrative season of the Christian year. We celebrate the good news that in Christ’s death and resurrection we, and all creation, are continually being made new by God’s love and saving grace. Here you will find more information on this joyous season as well as some creative ideas for encouraging your members to deepen their own spiritual journeys and for reaching out to your community to share this season's message of love, hope and transformation.
