Luke 24:2-7
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ “

Survey Says: Real or Plastic Eggs
In a survey done on the American people, an average of 41% use real eggs, and 59% use plastic eggs. I interviewed our students here at CCA and plastic eggs won the majority. Which eggs would you rather hunt on Easter? –Kennedy Vaughn
Easter Egg Decorating Ideas
With Easter just around the corner, the Publications class decided to share some fun ways to dye Easter eggs! Here are some of the things we found;
Checkered Dyed Eggs - A classic Basketweave inspired this technique, the eggs are dyed to have a two-tone effect. Apply Vertical and Horizontal line of very thin washi tape to hard boiled eggs, dip the eggs once into the color of your choice and let the egg sit for five minutes, then repeat in a lighter shade of the same color of dye.
Naturally Dyed Easter Eggs - Simmer Blueberries, Beets, or another natural ingredient with a cup of water and a dash of vinegar to make the colors. To dye the eggs, soak them in the natural dye you just made a moment ago overnight for a deep color, or for a lighter color, just a few minutes.
