• Sunday (Easter Sunday) – Jesus is Risen – Mark 16:1-10
Read the story of Easter Sunday. Jesus is Risen! When the women went to the tomb to prepare the body the tomb was empty! The stone was rolled away and the grave clothes were folded up neatly! Jesus had risen from the dead just as he said he would and this is why we celebrate Easter. Jesus was dead and is now alive again! Jesus defeated death and because of that we will get to spend eternity with God in heaven but only if we trust in Jesus as our Saviour – that is something to celebrate!

Pray: Lord God, Easter is the most important day of the year. The first Easter was the most important day ever. Thank you for Jesus, who rose from the dead – because of this we can look forward to heaven where we will be with you. Amen (Taken from Family Time)
God of new life, on Good Friday we remember how Jesus’ friends felt sad and helpless when they saw him die on the cross and be buried in a tomb. Now at Easter, we celebrate that Jesus’ death was not the end and that his friends’ sadness turned to great joy when Jesus rose from the dead and returned with the promise of new life for all people. We share in their joy this Easter time. Amen (Taken from Praying Together)
