divine, Your power let me see.”

L: He is risen! He is risen indeed!

P: Death has been defeated! The grave couldn't hold him!

Hymn 367 Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

Silent Prayer of Confession

Sung Response & Assurance of Pardon

“Lord have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us. Lord have mercy upon us.”

Glory to the Father

“Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.”

An Affirmation of Faith (unison)

This is the good news which we received, in which we stand and by which we are saved; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day; and that he appeared to Mary, then to the twelve, and to many faithful witnesses. We believe he is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, he is our Lord and our God. Amen. 

Sharing of Joys and Concerns

Prayers of the People

The Lord’s Prayer

For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”

we too should love one another.

P:   Let us love one another, since love comes from God.
