EASTER

Call to Worship:

Hallelujah! Christ is risen. 

He is risen indeed!

Let us praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

He has given us new life and hope.

He has raised Jesus from the dead. 

God has claimed us as his own. 

He has brought us out of darkness. 

He has made us light to the world. 

Hallelujah! Christ is risen. 

He is risen indeed!

Confession and Lament:

Almighty God, you have raised Jesus from the grave

And crowned him Lord of all.

We confess that we have not bowed before him

Or acknowledged his rule in our lives.

We have gone along with the way of the world 

And failed to give him glory.

Forgive us and raise us from sin,

That we may be your faithful, living people!

Assurance of Gospel Peace:

Christ showed His love for us in this:

While we were sinners, He died for us! 

He has poured His love into our hearts. 

Now, we are free to love our neighbors as He has loved us. 

Lord, we praise you for your unfailing love!
