Easter Egg Hunt at Saint George’s 2024

From the Priest-in-Charge

A blessed Eastertide to one and all, as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  I hope and pray that you’ve been able to set aside some time to glory in the promise of salvation during these Great Fifty Days, and that you’ve been intentional about carrying out the mission of the church in your lives:

  • Where have you seen God at work in the world?
  • What have you done to be the hands and feet of Jesus?
  • How have you proclaimed the Gospel in word and action?

We are a people of the resurrection, living each day as heirs to the kingdom and basking in the promise of everlasting life.  Let us share our joy and be the church that God calls us to be.

Alleluia. Christ is risen.

The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia.

Kids & God @ Home

Ask your children: Describe a time when you were in a situation where only God could help you.  What did God do in that moment?

Scripture meditation: Do not be afraid and do not panic.  For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you.  He will neither fail you nor abandon you. Deuteronomy 31:6 (NLT)

Main idea: God stays with you in ugly situations.  You can’t see God with your eyes, but God is there with you and you’re not alone. In our troubles, we have God who shares them with us.

Join Us for Worship!
