A VERY HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL
Halleluia! Jesus is risen!
He is risen indeed!

May this declaration
resound not only in these walls
but touch the lives of all we meet
and forever be the truth of which we speak.
Your love, once sown within a garden,
tended for your own people,
neglected and rejected,
now spreads its sweet perfume
in this place
and wherever it is shown.

Halleluia! Jesus is risen!
He is risen indeed!
