We are having our big dinner at 5pm today. For that, I will try to expand this.  I will try to get some hymns printed out, with sheet music, and to get everyone to have an instrument-- grand piano, violin, viola, cello, trombone, ukulele, didgeridoo, kazoo, harmonica, pots-and-pans percussion, recorder, clarinet are possibilities.  I will look for an ancient prayer or a Book of Common Prayer one for dinner. Maybe stories of past Easters. Maybe Dante's Paradiso  has something good. I'd like to write up something on the theology of Easter to add to the readings. During dinner, maybe as people for names of some dead people we can hope will rise again, with no discussion of the probabilities of happy ending in particular cases.  Ideally, we'd do something on the pattern of a seder, though we're a bit wiped out after last night's Christian seder at Bob's House.

This page is for things to do on Easter. It is sufficient for use, but I will improve it.

In 2021, the three readings below worked well. People read them as dessert was served. You can print out the readings from: READING 1: Luke 23-24. The Easter Story and READING 2: Revelation 19. Christ the Victor over Death and READING 3: Revelation 20. The New Jerusalem. You can do it several ways:

  • (a) Three people read Readings 1, 2, and 3. (3 people participate)
  • (b) Five people read Readings 1a, 1b, 1c, 2 , and 3. (5 people participate)
  • (c) Four people read Readings 1a, 1b, and 1c and 2. Five people read Reading 3. (9 people participate)
  • (d) Three people read Readings 1a, 1b, and 1c. Six people read Reading 2. One person reads Reading 3 (10 people participate)
  • (e) Three people read Readings 1a, 1b, and 1c. Then six people read Reading 2 and five people read Reading 3. (14 people participate)
