REFLECTION:

Jesus the resurrection and the Life

Death is a sad and difficult part of life. In today’s gospel reading we see

Jesus reveal his glory, power and compassion when he himself is

confronted with the death of a close friend

HYMNS

TIS 28 God is our strength and refuge.

Jesus, strong and kind.

TIS 233 I will sing the wondrous story

TIS 569 Guide me, O thou great redeemer
