The Fourth Sunday of Easter

Almighty God,

whose Son Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life:

Raise us, who trust in him,

from the death of sin to the life of righteousness,

that we may seek those things which are above,

where he reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. AMEN.

Church flowers are the kind gift of Ella Wilkinson.
