1: The people walking in darkness have seen a great light

2: On those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.*

1: Long before Jesus was born, God spoke to His people through the prophet Isaiah. He said,

2: "Arise, shine for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.

1: See the darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and His glory appears over you.

2: Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

1: Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm, Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy.

2: All will come proclaiming the praise of the LORD!

1: Then you will know that I the LORD am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

2: No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.

1: The sun will no more be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon shine on you.

2: For the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.

1: Before Jesus died, he told his disciples, I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

2: Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

1: Jesus died to overcome the darkness of sin and arose that we might have His light within us. (Light your candle from the bigger candle)

2: We are to share His light with others. (Each person lights their candle, first from the leader then lighting the candle of the person beside him. Passing the light along.)

1: You are the light of the world

2: Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

1: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

2: Help me Lord to share your light with others.

1: For a city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.

2: Instead they put it on its stand and it gives light to everyone in the house.

1: We ought to share His light with others.


Sing Teach me to walk in the light lds primary song
1. Teach me to walk in the light of his love;
Teach me to pray to my Father above;
Teach me to know of the things that are right;
Teach me, teach me to walk in the light.
2. Come, little child, and together we’ll learn
Of his commandments, that we may return
Home to his presence, to live in his sight—
Always, always to walk in the light.
3. Father in Heaven, we thank thee this day
For loving guidance to show us the way.
Grateful, we praise thee with songs of delight!
Gladly, gladly we’ll walk in the light.

Make Easter breakfast Rolls for tomorrow.

These rolls are for a traditional Easter morning breakfast. Just like Christ's tomb on Easter Sunday, these rolls will be empty! Consequently, this is a fun and sweet way to explain to children why we celebrate Easter, and teach about Christs' resurrection. They are easy to make the night before, and are very yummy straight out of the oven.
Easter Breakfast Rolls
submitted by Erin
1 package frozen bread or roll dough, thawed (or homemade roll dough)

6 TB sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 bag large marshmallows
1/4 cup butter, melted


Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside. Divide the dough into individual roll sized portions. Press each portion into a flat circle. Place
1 large marshmallow in the center of each roll. Pinch roll dough very firmly around the marshmallow. Roll each into a seamless, or nearly seamless, ball with your hands. Brush rolls with melted butter. Sprinkle sugar mixture over rolls. Cover rolls with plastic wrap and put in the fridge overnight. On Sunday morning, preheat oven to 350°. Take rolls out of fridge and bake for 15 minutes until rolls are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake. (These may also be baked without sitting overnight. After wrapping the marshmallow in them, let them rise for about an hour or so and then bake them as usual.)Make these extremely simple rolls the night before Easter Sunday and your family will enjoy a truly sweet Easter memory.
