Notes on the Season: 1Alleluia. Christ is risen! The Lord is risen, indeed. Alleluia! Thus begins the festive greetings for all celebrations of the Eucharist during the Easter Season. Easter is much more than a day; Easter is the longest season of the church year, lasting 50 days, or the Great Fifty Days of Easter. Every Sunday of the church year is a celebration of the Resurrection, and a “little Easter.” The culmination of the Easter season is the Day of Pentecost. During Easter the Paschal candle burns prominently at the altar; a symbol of Resurrection and our Risen Lord who is the light of the world. In place of the Old Testament reading, we will be reading from the Book of Acts, which tells the story of the young church’s proclamation of the Resurrection of Jesus. Easter may be the most universal (catholic) celebration, certainly the most ancient, among all Christian traditions. Receiving Communion – All who are baptized in Christ are welcome at God’s altar for communion. To receive the bread, simply hold your hands palms up. To receive the wine, please guide the cup to your lips by holding the base or you may give the bread to the chalice bearer to dip into the cup. They will return it to your mouth or your hand. If you wish, you may cross your arms on your chest to indicate that you do not wish to receive the wine. Children are welcome to receive communion. Childcare – Is open for children ages infant through kindergarten in the parish hall. It is available for 10:30 a .m. Holy Eucharist each Sunday, and at 9:00 a.m. when Sunday school meets.
