This week's schedule funk:
No School Friday
O God, whose Son Jesus is the good shepherd of your people;
Grant that when we hear his voice we may know him who
calls us each by name, and follow where he leads; who, with
you and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever
and ever. Amen.
1 John 3:1-3
The Lord is our Good Shephard--what does that make us? Vocation (voce=call) - who are we? Who are we called to be? What are we growing into?
This week's chapel will focus on Baptism--if you are not baptized, consider accepting this gift from God and starting on the most exciting adventure you will ever embark on. None of us can be fully ready for baptism--if we tell ourselves we are ready for it, then we are fooling ourselves into thinking that we can merit it. We accept it as a gift of God's grace and purity, being brought to life as he is alive. If you are baptized, encourage your friends to take this step, and joyfully be reminded of the covenant that God has accomplished with you in your Baptism, which is the death and Resurrection of his only Son.

Welcome back! He is risen!
Did you know that, historically, the Christian Church celebrates Easter for 50 days? That's a lot of Easters! More than any other religious holiday, Easter is a massive affirmation of the goodness of life--Christ came bodily, Christ died bodily, Christ ascended bodily, and Christ will come again bodily when we will see him face to face. What if we lived our bodily existence out of this reality?

Second Sunday of Easter
Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery
established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all
who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ's Body
may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Easter Communion
Pure fasted faces draw unto this feast:
God comes all sweetness to your Lenten lips.
You striped in secret with breath-taking whips,
Those crooked rough-scored chequers may be pieced
To crosses meant for Jesu's; you whom the East
With draught of thin and pursuant cold so nips
Breathe Easter now; you serged fellowships,
You vigil-keepers with low flames decreased,

With draught of thin and pursuant cold so nips
Breathe Easter now; you serged fellowships,
You vigil-keepers with low flames decreased,
God shall o'er-brim the measures you have spent
With oil of gladness, for sackcloth and frieze
And the ever-fretting shirt of punishment
Give myrrhy-threaded golden folds of ease.
Your scarce-sheathed bones are weary of being bent:
Lo, God shall strengthen all the feeble knees.
