\"The
The Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory?
\nChrist is risen, and you are overthrown.
\nChrist is risen, and the demons are fallen.
\nChrist is risen, and the angels rejoice.
\nChrist is risen, and life reigns.
\nChrist is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave.
\nFor Christ, being risen from the dead, is become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
\nTo Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages. Amen.<\/p>\n

From the Paschal Sermon of St. John Chrysostom.<\/em><\/p>\n

No Social Hall after Pascha Liturgy Saturday Evening<\/h2>\n

Instead we will celebrate Pascha at our community dinner following Agape Vespers later that afternoon.<\/p>\n

Agape Service Pascha Celebratory Dinner<\/h2>\n

On Pascha Sunday we will come together again after the Pascha service to celebrate Agape Vespers (Sunday, May 1 2015), a very<\/em> short service followed by a community wide Pascha dinner. This will be good! We’ve done in past years at different homes but this year we will hold it in our new social hall.<\/p>\n

Like all dinners however, we need a count. Sign up this Sunday (Palm Sunday) or let us know through the website<\/a> if you will be attending. <\/p>\n

\"Easter<\/div>\n

Plan on an Easter Egg hunt for the kids.<\/p>\n

PARENTS<\/strong>: if your children are too young for the Pascha Service, bring them to Agape Vespers instead. The service is short and we still have candles and sing Christ is Risen. The dinner that follows, having fun with their friends, the Easter egg hunt and more is crucial for forming their self-identity as Orthodox Christians at their young age.<\/p>\n
