hoping each of you have a very BLESSED
EASTER SATURDAY! 
knowing that the tomb/grave was empty
the sacrifices our KING JESUS gave
so that we can have eternal life.


Holy Saturday
Do you not know that all of us who have been
 baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into
 his death? Therefore we have been buried with
 him by baptism into death, so that, just as
Christ was raised from the dead by the glory 
of the Father, so we too might walk in
 newness of life.
For if we have been united with him in
 a death like his, we will certainly be united
 with him in a resurrection like his. We know
 that our old self was crucified with him so
 that the body of sin might be destroyed,
 and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.
 For whoever has died is freed from sin.
 But if we have died with Christ, we believe
 that we will also live with him. We know 
that Christ, being raised from the dead, will
 never die again; death no longer has dominion 
over him. The death he died, he died to sin, 
once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. 
So you also must consider yourselves dead to 
sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Romans 6:3-11

• Tonight we affirm our ancient faith: Christ has
 robbed death of its ultimate sting and has invigorated
 this sweet, precious, precarious, 
once-only life that is slipping away from us with
 every hour and day and year.

• When we breathe the evening air, when
 we catch the sweet smells of the new season,
we have hints of a day that knows no ending,
 a light that will not yield to darkness, and a life
 in these weary bodies that even creeping death 
will not be able to frustrate or despoil. 
We yearn for new life.
