This is the day the Lord has made!  Christ is risen, and through him, all creation is made new!  Indeed, "God shows no partiality" (Acts 10:34)  Christ's resurrection truly brings life to everyone.  We sing hymns of praise, gather around sacred words, and proclaim God's faithfulness, power, and love in the feast of Holy Communion.  With the women at the tomb, we are astonished, elated, and grateful.  We depart with joy to proclaim the good news of the risen Christ.
