A Blossoming Celebration: Easter

Listen to God's Word
Early on Easter morning Mary Magdaline stood crying near Jesus' tomb. She thought they had taken Jesus' body away. Mary turned around and saw a man standing there. Mary thought the man was the gardener. She did not realize he was Jesus. She said to him, "If you took him away, sir, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him." Jesus said, "Mary!" She turned toward him and said in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (This means "Teacher.") From John 20:11-16

Alleluia! Alleluia! The mountains and hills will burst into singing, and the trees will shout for joy. From Isaiah 55:12

In the countryside the flowers are in bloom. The air is fragrant with blossoming branches. This is the time for singing. From Song of Songs 2:12, 13

My Prayer Goes On
Make a blossoming in prayer poster. Create fluffy apple blossoms by gluing on pieces of white popcorn or pieces of white tissue paper on the branches. As you work, imagine you are in a garden with Jesus. Talk to him about the signs of growth and new life surrounding you.
