Greetings as we begin the most sacred days of the Christian year! On Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday we remember and celebrate the heart of our faith--Jesus giving himself up for us, and triumphing over death and sin on our behalf.  Hopefully you'll be able to attend one or more of the services at Good Samaritan Church this week.  If not, our Easter Sunday celebration is within walking distance of campus, on the Cliffs at 707 am. 

There are also lots of opportunities in the coming weeks  to live out Jesus' command to love one another as He loved us, and to give ourselves for the love of the world. See them all listed at the bottom of this email.

In the love and life of the Risen Christ,
Gillian
