What are they to do?
Then on the third day, some women go to Jesus' tomb to finish the burial rites. And what do they find but an empty tomb. They race to the Upper Room and tell the disciples, who check out their report. "Remember how Jesus would rise on the third day?" Light begins to dawn. Mary Magdalene comes into the presence of the risen Christ who calls her by name. It is true. Jesus is risen. Panic and fear are replaced by joy and celebration. The disciples will break forth from the upper room of isolation and bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the world. For them, everything is changed.
May we today be filled with joy and confidence that no matter what tomorrow may bring, Jesus will be there. His love, mercy and grace will continue to fill our lives, leading us to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ to the world.
Easter Blessings

THE MASS with Hymns and Readings
Let us pray in unison:
My Jesus, I believe that you are truly present in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. I love you above all things, and long for you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though you have already come, I embrace you and unite myself entirely to you; never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

We welcome Cindy Chattin as our permanent organist and choir director.
Cindy replaces Sue Verzella, who retired June 30 after 25 years as organist and choir director.
As interim organist and choir director since September, Cindy has received rave views from congregation and choir alike, and has brought great energy to our music ministry.
If you like to sing, consider making that "joyful noise" in our choir.
Let Cindy know if you are interested in singing, or if you have questions or suggestions.
Listen to the prelude Cindy played on the piano March 29.
