Mark 16:1-8 | Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Today, with the whole church we shout our praise to our Lord who has risen victorious over sin, death, and the devil. Jesus has triumphed over all things, giving life to all the world. Each Easter, this news is proclaimed with acclamation, and each year, many gather in worship of our crucified and risen Lord. But then what? What happens after the service, after the lilies have faded, after the ham is eaten, and after we return to our day-to-day lives? Well, taking a cue from Mark’s account of the resurrection, that is where our work begins as we become people who are co-writing the story of Christ’s resurrection in our lives, in the world, and in the church. So as we rise this Easter to the dawn of another new day, join us for worship as we hear again the Gospel message of Christ’s resurrection, and as we are sent forth to continue the story of God’s resurrection promise…here and now.
