An Easter Message by Bishop Ginny Aebischer www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJXu... #easter2025

Prayer: Almighty God, your Son our Savior suffered at human hands and endured the shame of the cross. Grant that we may walk in the way of his cross and find it the way of life and peace, through Jesus Christ, or Savior and Lord. Amen.  (ELW Prayer for Wednesday in Holy Week)

Prayer: Lord Jesus, you have called us to follow you. Grant that our love may not grow cold in your service, and that we may not fail or deny you in the time of trial, for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.  (ELW)

Prayer: O God, your Son chose the path that led to pain before joy and to the cross before glory. Plant his cross in our hearts, so that in its power and love we may come at last to joy and glory through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen (ELW Prayer for Monday in Holy Week)
