April 16: One of the books we like to read around Easter time is Easter Eggs for Anya. We usually talk about Pysanky eggs when we read the book but this year we focused on something different. Anya is a little girl in the Ukraine whose father is away at war. It was very fitting that this year as we had fun coloring our Easter eggs we remember to pray for the people and the Church in the Ukraine.
“We pray that their faith in Christ would endure. We also pray that God would provide for them as their gracious heavenly Father. And we pray that all find hope and strength in the grace of God in Jesus Christ.
The Lord Jesus, who talked about coming wars and calamities, died and rose from the dead to forgive sins and give eternal life to all who believe. Before He ascended, He promised His church, “And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Matt. 28:20). The church prays for peace in our world and for faith as we await His coming.
To support the people of Ukraine, please pray for them.” LCMS Reporter

April 15: The Easter Triduum, three days of prayer, church services and…. preparing food. Am I right?😅 But I suppose everyone must eat and there must be Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday.
