Notices for 8th April 2012 - Easter Sunday

Prayer for Today 
Jesus Christ is Risen! Hallelujah!   Risen Lord, we gather on this day of resurrection: filled with wonder at the message given by Mary; amazed and astonished with the disciples.  As we prepare for this act of praise, let the almost unbelievable message of Easter touch everyone with joy that comes when we grasp the glorious truth that the Jesus who was crucified is alive!  So may we celebrate with joy, with the whole Church of Christ, in his Name and in his Spirit.  Amen

Introit
Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
let creation join to say: Alleluia!
raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
sing, ye heavens; thou earth reply: Alleluia!

Maundy Thursday – Thank You.  The following message has been received from the Baptist Church: “Please pass on our thanks for the service on Thursday; the soup was delicious and it was good to have an opportunity for fellowship with you all. Please thank Heather for the service, which was thought provoking. I hope the Lord blesses your service on Sunday, as we all share in the wonderful Easter message which is why we have our hope in Him. God bless to you all” Sue Redding
