Arkansas-Oklahoma Synod 2015 Schedule around the synod
We have collected the Lenten, Holy Week, and Easter schedules for congregations around the Arkansas-Oklahoma Synod. Please look at the following list for a church in your area to experience the Holiest of times in the Christian faith.
Hidden with Christ
Easter turns the world upside down. It defies our expectations with hiddenness and bluntness: Mary does not recognize the resurrected Jesus (John 20:14), the good news is heralded by an earthquake and terrifying angels and is brought to the women of the church first, rather than to the Twelve (Matt. 28:1-10). The radical reversals prophesied in scripture and revealed in Christ's life and ministry culminate in the good news we proclaim today: Christ, through death, has triumphed over death. "The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone" (Ps. 118:22). Excerpt from Sundays and Seasons.
Join a nearby ELCA congregation this Easter Season and see if it will turn your “world upside down.”

And the second is like

– Romans 8:30
Lent is the season of preparation for the coming of Easter, the day of Resurrection celebrated. “It is a time of simplicity, renewal and preparation in congregations, especially preparation for baptisms that will occur at the Easter Vigil.” Living Lutheran “Easter turns the world upside down. It defies our expectations with hiddenness and bluntness: Mary does not recognize the resurrected Jesus (John 20:14), the good news is heralded by an earthquake and terrifying angels and is brought to the women of the church first, rather than to the Twelve (Matt. 28:1-10). The radical reversals prophesied in scripture and revealed in Christ's life and ministry culminate in the good news we proclaim today: Christ, through death, has triumphed over death. "The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone" (Ps. 118:22).” Excerpt from Sundays and Seasons.
