Easter, Resurrection Sunday, April 4
Set-up: Prepare your spirit and your space, set aside distractions, gather your devotion packet and a Bible. Then, set out all the tea lights but do not light them yet. You may want to add glitter or ribbons or mirrors or more candles to your altar today. It’s the resurrection! It’s a celebration! Make party food or get out noisemakers or pots and pans!
Read: John 20:1-18.
Wonder: CHRIST IS RISEN!!
Act: Light all the candles. Eat the snacks! Make the noise! Today is the biggest party of all time. Heaven and earth rejoice!
Prayers:

Break forth together in singing, you ruins of Jerusalem; for the Lord has comforted God’s people. Isaiah 52:9a-b
Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death is thy sting? 1 Corinthians 15:55
