Prelude Organist/pianist Jeff Burke Call to Worship: Leader: Christ the Lord is risen today! People: He is risen indeed! Thanks be to God! Leader: The empty tomb vindicates Christ's claim that he is the Resurrection and the Life. People: The Love which suffered is the love which saves! Leader: Gracious God, fill your people with joy and your church with celebration. All: Our risen Lord Jesus Christ is present with us today! Alleluia! *Opening Hymn “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today “ Hymn # 302
Opening Prayer: Gracious God, may all praise your name, for you have brought life out of death and hope out of despair. You have raised Jesus Christ from the dead to be the first fruit of resurrection and the pledge of your victory of love over evil. Almighty God, you know our doubts, fears, and failures which we bring to You this Easter morning. In your mercy, forgive us our sins, for which we are truly sorry. Through your Holy Spirit, nurture the growth of hope, courage, and faith within us, that we may forever live to praise and serve you, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Gospel Lesson: John 20: 1-18 Response to the Gospel Lesson:
