We are Resurrection People
A new Easter hymn
We are resurrection people
made alive through Easter faith
for the risen Christ has freed us
from the power of the grave.
Eden's curse has been rescinded.
Death's defeated once for all.
Since the serpent's sting is thwarted,
we've no fear to see him crawl.
We are resurrection people
made alive through Easter hope.
Though we grieve when loved ones leave us,
Jesus' victory helps us cope.
When we're sidelined by some sadness,
or beset when dreams have died,
we don't need to be despairing,
for Christ's grave stands open wide.
We are resurrection people
made alive through Easter love.
Christ has given us his Spirit
mindful of the tests we have.
He who gave the great commandment,
gives the means for us to live
with compassion, kind and caring,
quick to help and to forgive.
We are resurrection people
marked by faith and hope and love.
Christ is risen! Christ is reigning
from his throne in Heav'n above.
We need never be discouraged
knowing he is on our side
as we celebrate his vict'ry
through this blessed Eastertide.
(The above can be sung to the tune for "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee")

Easter Ideas for Grandparents
Last week I shared about the history of Easter traditions. This week I want to share a few ideas for grandparents to share the real meaning of Easter, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and some fun activities to do with your grandchildren.
Easter is a great time to connect with our grandchildren, whether they live down the street, across town or far away away. When was the last time you told your grandchildren you are praying for them? God has given us an awesome responsibility and privilege to have a part in the lives of those dear grandchildren. Our prayers and encouragement can make a significant impact on their lives. Let’s make this Easter a special celebration of the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ for our grandchildren.
Here are a few suggestions you can use during this Easter season.

Nicely done.
It was a beautiful spring day in Atlanta. It was a perfect reminder, through God's creation, how He has always been about new life. Praise Him! Praise Jesus for His humble and obedient going forward with Father God's plan using the cross, the blood, and the offer of the most precious gift to all individuals.
Please, Lord, may all have access and decide to accept Your gift and follow Jesus. Amen
Thank you Jesus for the CROSS!
Amen.
