Success or failure, God loves us all
With God we can overcome challenges
Be open to all the gifts, talents others bring
Make your voice heard for generations to come
We’re called to love those who struggle
No kind act will escape God’s notice
Pray to God for the courage to be healed
Make reconciliation with someone in your life
We can accomplish amazing things with God’s strength
In times of trial, God is with us

The Bible done differently
Third Sunday of Easter (Year B) April 14 (Acts 3:13-15, 17-19; Psalm 4; 1 John 2:1-5; Luke 24:35-48)
Peter had jarring news for those gathered around him. In their view, Jesus was a renegade and had died a disgraceful death. The whole matter should have ended there, but God had other plans. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob — the God of all Israel — had raised Jesus up and glorified Him.
Second Sunday of Easter (Year B) , April 7 (Acts 4:32-35; Psalm 118; 1 John 5:1-6; John 20:19-31)
“There was not a needy person among them” — this was the source of their unity and their strength. They were of one heart and soul.
Resurrection of the Lord (Year B) March 31 (Acts 10:34a, 37-43; Psalm 118; Colossians 3:1-4; John 20:1-18)
The early followers of Jesus burned with the desire to communicate what they had seen, heard and experienced. If they were from the second or third generations of believers, they were able to rely on the testimony of those who had gone before them.
