Easter 2016
Pastor Aaron Lytle

Who would go?

1Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.

2Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. 3His face shone like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow. 4The guards shook with fear when they saw him, and they fell into a dead faint.

5Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. 7And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you.”

A NEW DAY HAS DAWNED

HE IS RISEN!
HE IS RISEN, INDEED! HALLELUJAH!

8The women ran quickly from the tomb. They were very frightened but also filled with great joy, and they rushed to give the disciples the angel’s message. 9And as they went, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they ran to him, grasped his feet, and worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t be afraid! Go tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.” —Matthew 28:1-10

HE IS RISEN!
HE IS RISEN, INDEED! HALLELUJAH!

1Give thanks to the lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever. —Psalm 118:1

(Read some thanksgivings. about 10, I will read from the paper, but have them on the screen to read along)
