Easter Stories drawn up into the divine story of Jesus: Mary, Peter, and John

Dear People of Grace:

He Is Risen!

Although I am saddened that we cannot meet together at this time, I hope this worship segment enhances your personal experience of the truth, the goodness, and the beauty of Resurrection Sunday.  Because Jesus' story became part of humanity's story, our individual stories can be drawn up into his Divine Story.  It really is all about him; we find our meaning in him.
