He Is Risen!



He is risen!
 rings from the intercom startling those of us gathered at table waiting for the Easter breakfast to start, and as one we turn to the front.




He Risen!
sounds again and now with understanding as we respond 


He is risen indeed Amen!

Our service begins with a cross of plain wood 


and with joy that is overflowing we sing


and we sing


We sing and wait for the time that we can dress the cross with symbols of our joy.


The children lead us in decorating the cross with new life and joy!


Joyfully we follow the children and place our flowers on the cross


each in our own way as we each know and understand He is risen through personal experience and collective celebration.

There is no wrong way, just your way of knowing God’s unconditional love.



So with humility around the world today Christian’s celebrate the gift of unconditional love as Christ passed through the despair and separation from God for all of creation, rising anew and opening the gates so we can pass through.


He is risen 
and all will enter into eternity by passing through the gates 
of God love for his creation.

Amen!
