Immanuel Ev. Lutheran Church & School 20882 Walden Ave. Hutchinson, MN 55350

HYMN - 147 “Like the Golden Sun Ascending”

We follow the Common Service on page 15.

In place of GLORY BE TO GOD we sing #144 “Christ Is Arisen”

PRAYER OF THE DAY

Almighty God, by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ you

conquered death and opened the gate to eternal life. Grant that we, who have

been raised with him through baptism, may walk in newness of life and ever

rejoice in the hope of sharing his glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to

whom, with you and the Holy Spirit be dominion and praise now and

forever.

FIRST LESSON - Job 19:23-27

23 “Oh, that my words were recorded, that they were written on a scroll,

24

that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead, or engraved in rock

forever! 25

I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand

upon the earth. 26

And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I

will see God; 27

I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another.

How my heart yearns within me!

PSALM 118 on page 108

SECOND LESSON - 1 Corinthians 15:19-26

19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than

all men.

20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those

who have fallen asleep. 21

For since death came through a man, the

resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22

For as in Adam all die,

so in Christ all will be made alive. 23

But each in his own turn: Christ, the

firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 24

Then the end

will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has

destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25

For he must reign until he

has put all his enemies under his feet. 26

The last enemy to be destroyed is

death.

VERSE OF THE DAY - Psalm 118:24

Alleluia. Alleluia. Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia. This is the day

the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Alleluia.

GOSPEL - Mark 16:1-8

1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James,

and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very

early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to

the tomb 3 and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the

entrance of the tomb?”

4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large,

had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man

dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who

was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid

him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into

Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”

8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb.

They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
