LITTLE LUTHERAN BAGS

Each Sunday your child may pick up a colorful bag from the pegs on the stair-way wall to the left of the sanctuary doors. Use what’s inside, take coloring pages with you and return the bags at the end of service.

QUIET ROOM There are two rooms at the back of the sanctuary. Room B (on the right) has

chairs and tables, but no toys. Room A (on the left) has a few quiet toys, books and seating.

TO PARENTS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN

First, please relax and enjoy your time here. God put the wiggle in chil-dren, so please don’t feel embarrassed by it. Your children are welcome

at Lutheran Church of the Lakes. As a matter of fact, you may wish to sit toward the front where it’s easi-

er to see and hear what’s going on. Our pastor has his own young ones

and won’t be easily bothered. What goes on here promises to engage

your children—not all at once, but little-by-little every week.

As we go, softly point out and explain what you see and hear. Encourage them to chime in on their parts: Amen! Thanks be to God! Our Father… All of that belongs to them too.

Be sure to sing the songs, to pray and say your parts too. Your children

learn by following your lead.

If you need to leave the service with your child, feel free to do so. There is a quiet room for use whenever necessary, but please come back! Like Jesus, we want your children in their Father’s house, not out.

If you need a little help, just ask. There are lots of folks here who will

lend you a hand. Don’t be too surprised if they offer!

While you are caring for your children, the rest of us will be rejoicing in Jesus’

words, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” (Luke 18:16) and remembering that we are all as lit-tle children before God, or ought to be.

Your children are not only a gift to you, they are a gift to the church, so we will do our best to welcome, encourage, help and bless you all. Welcome to Lu-theran Church of the Lakes!

Easter Scriptures

Christ Jesus abolished death and brought life and immortality

to light through the gospel.

Lutheran Church of the Lakes 547.4261 www.lcol.org lcoloffice@gmail.com

Then Moses and the people of Israel

sang this song to the LORD, saying, “I

will sing to the LORD, for he has tri-

umphed gloriously; the horse and his

rider he has thrown into the sea. The

LORD is my strength and my song, and

he has become my salvation; his is my

God, and I will praise him, my father's

God, and I will exalt him. The LORD is

a man of war; the LORD is his name.

Pharaoh's chariots and his host he cast

into the sea, and his chosen officers

were sunk in the Red Sea. The floods

covered them; they went down into

the depths like a stone. Your right

hand, O LORD, glorious in power,

your right hand, O LORD, shatters the

enemy. In the greatness of your maj-

esty you overthrow your adversaries;

you send out your fury; it consumes

them like stubble.

At the blast of your nostrils the wa-

ters piled up; the floods stood up in a

heap; the deeps congealed in the

heart of the sea. The enemy said, ‘I

will pursue, I will overtake, I will di-

vide the spoil, my desire shall have its

fill of them. I will draw my sword; my

hand shall destroy them.’

You blew with your wind; the sea

covered them; they sank like lead in

the mighty waters.

Who is like you, O LORD, among the

gods? Who is like you, majestic in

holiness, awesome in glorious deeds,

doing wonders?

EXODUS 15:1-11

1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-11

Now I would remind you, brothers, of

the gospel I preached to you, which

you received, in which you stand, and

by which you are being saved, if you

hold fast to the word I preached to

you—unless you believed in vain.

For I delivered to you as of first im-

portance what I also received: that

Christ died for our sins in accordance

with the Scriptures, that he was bur-

ied, that he was raised on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures, and

that he appeared to Cephas, then to

the twelve. Then he appeared to more

than five hundred brothers at one

time, most of whom are still alive,

though some have fallen asleep. Then

he appeared to James, then to all the

apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely

born, he appeared also to me. For I am

the least of the apostles, unworthy to

be called an apostle, because I perse-

cuted the church of God. But by the

grace of God I am what I am, and his

grace toward me was not in vain. On

the contrary, I worked harder than any

of them, though it was not I, but the

grace of God that is with me. Whether

then it was I or they, so we preach and

so you believed.

MARK 16:1-8

When the Sabbath was past, Mary

Magdalene, Mary the mother of James,

and Salome bought spices, so that they

might go and anoint him. And very

early on the first day of the week,

when the sun had risen, they went to

the tomb. And they were saying to

one another, “Who will roll away the

stone for us from the entrance of the

tomb?” And looking up, they saw that

the stone had been rolled back—it

was very large. And entering the tomb,

they saw a young man sitting on the

right side, dressed in a white robe, and

they were alarmed. And he said to

them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek

Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.

He has risen; he is not here. See the

place where they laid him. But go, tell

his disciples and Peter that he is going

before you to Gali-

lee. There you will

see him, just as he

told you.” And they

went out and fled

from the tomb, for

trembling and

astonishment had seized them, and

they said nothing to anyone, for they

were afraid.
