A Prayer for Easter
How wonderful, how marvelous, is Your love, Jesus! To think that You were willing to go through that for me!
What a day of rejoicing that must have been when You rose and realized it was all over--You had won the victory! You had accomplished Your mission. You had made the way for the world to be saved. You had gone through the horrors of Hell and death for us, and it was over.
You arose in victory, joy, liberation, and freedom from the hands of evil men, never to have to go through that again--and You did it all to spare us the same. Now we can say with the apostle Paul, "O death, where is your sting? O Hades [grave], where is your victory?" (1 Corinthians 15:55-57).
As I think of the seemingly terrible defeat that You suffered and how it resulted in such a tremendous victory, it fills me with wonder and gives me such hope and peace. Surely You and Your love will see me through whatever troubles may come my way, from now till eternity! Amen.

Love Wins, Death No More. By: Michelle Neitzke
What if we lived as though death no longer existed?
No, but really. What if we lived as though death was literally not an option for us? What if we chose to radically live in the newness of life that Jesus offers us through His Resurrection?

Do It!
The Confirmation students spent time this year serving at the Central Iowa Shelter and Services and the Freestore. Even though we are done as a group serving at those places, it doesn't mean they don't need help. So click the links above and learn more about these great organizations and how you can help.
Both of these places are fairly family friendly. Young kids maybe wouldn't be a good fit, but there is a lot of great opportunities.
