"On the Third Day He Rose, in Accordance with the Scriptures"
EASTER SCRIPTURE COURSE 2023
God of life and freedom,
you call us always to be free:
free from everything that binds us,
free to do good.
As we remember Christ,
our Passover and our lasting peace,
help us to celebrate the feast
with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
