Welcome & Greetings:
*Easter Hymn of Praise ‘Christ the Lord Is Risen Today’ UMH# 217
*Call to Worship(Responsive Reading):
Leader: When the tomb looms large before our eyes, remind us, Lord, who we are:
People: We are children of the resurrection; the place of death will not hold us.
Leader: We are the painters of the rainbows; the shadow of death will not daunt us.
People: We are the breakers of loaves and fishes; the taste of death will not defile us.
Leader: We are the raisers of the dead; the power of death will not defy us.
People: We are the people of Pentecost; the spirit of death will not destroy us!
ALL: God is our refuge and our strength. We gather in the power and sure promise of resurrection.
*Opening Hymn ‘Christ Arose’ UMH# 216
*Opening Prayer:(Unison): Lord God - we gather in the name of the Risen Christ to pour forth our praises in glad Easter Celebration. We rejoice that
you have not left us without hope - but have come back to us
in the victory of the resurrection and given us the assurance of eternal life with Christ Jesus, the one whom you lifted from the tomb and have made Lord of all. Praise be to your name for your everlasting mercy both now and forevermore. Amen!
