GRACE NEWS
EASTER SUNDAY
"O God, who for our redemption gave Your only begotten Son to the death
of the cross, and by His glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of
our enemy: Grant us so to die to sin, that we may evermore live with Him
in the joy of His resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and
reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
(Book of Common Prayer).
