Sunday, April 5, 2026 – Easter Sunday

Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia.

On Easter morning, we gather in joy and celebration as we proclaim the good news of the resurrection. The tomb is empty. Death is defeated. The promise is fulfilled.

In Matthew’s Gospel, the women are met with astonishing words: “He is not here; for he has been raised.” Fear turns to wonder. Grief turns to joy. Mary is greeted and called by name. The disciples believe. New life begins.

In Acts, we hear the bold proclamation that Jesus Christ is Lord of all, raised on the third day, bringing forgiveness and salvation to all who believe.

As we return to the Lord with all our heart, we celebrate the One who is gracious and merciful. The Risen Christ raises us up each and every day with an Easter heart, alive in hope, alive in grace, alive in love.

Let us rejoice together in the victory of Christ, trusting that we are alive and saved anew in the Risen Lord, today and always. Alleluia.
