1 Sunday of the Resurrection Easter Day April 21, :15 a.m. St Anne s Episcopal Church 424 W. Market Street Warsaw, Indiana The Reverend Ryan Fischer, Rector The Right Reverend Dr. Douglas E. Sparks Bishop of Northern Indiana

2 Good Morning! Normally on Sundays we celebrate the Holy Eucharist (Communion) at 8 a.m. (solemn service, no hymns) and 10:15 a.m. (music, nursery care and children s formation, Labor Day-Memorial Day). Our liturgy is from the Book of Common Prayer (BCP), found in your pew. All are welcome to the Lord s Table. It is our custom to receive the bread in our open hands and consume immediately. When you are offered the chalice, please assist by gently holding the base and guiding the cup to your lips. If you prefer, having consumed the bread, you may return to your seat. We believe Christ is fully present in either element. If you have not been baptized or prefer not to receive Communion, simply cross your arms over your chest and the priest will give you a blessing. Childcare for infants and toddlers is available during the 10:15 service. Please ask an usher for directions. We also have activity bags for young children. These are located across from the tile table by the ushers. If you are visiting today, please sign our guest book in the entrance area. We will mail you a copy of our newsletter, The Visitor. To learn more about our congregation, please talk with a vestry member: Sr. Warden Brenda Rigdon, Co-Jr. Wardens Butch Schapson & Curt Singrey, George Bullock, Deb Blatz, Cathy Carter, Sheila Cobb, Deb DeMuth, Michael Goodrich, Carol Lewis, Bob Hastings and Pam Hester.

4 Opening Acclamation The Collect for Purity

5 Gloria in excelsis Glory to God in the highest

6 The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Let us pray. The Collect of the Day Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord's resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. A Reading from the Book of Acts 10:34-43 Peter began to speak to Cornelius and the other Gentiles: "I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ--he is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name." At the conclusion, the lector says The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. Please be seated.

7 Psalm 118:1-2, The choir and congregation sing together. 1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; * his mercy endures for ever. 2 Let Israel now proclaim, * "His mercy endures for ever." 14 The LORD is my strength and my song, * and he has become my salvation. 15 There is a sound of exultation and victory * in the tents of the righteous: 16 "The right hand of the LORD has triumphed! * the right hand of the LORD is exalted! the right hand of the LORD has triumphed!" 17 I shall not die, but live, * and declare the works of the LORD. 18 The LORD has punished me sorely, * but he did not hand me over to death. 19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; * I will enter them; I will offer thanks to the LORD. 20 "This is the gate of the LORD; * he who is righteous may enter." 21 I will give thanks to you, for you answered me * and have become my salvation. 22 The same stone which the builders rejected * has become the chief cornerstone. 23 This is the LORD's doing, * and it is marvelous in our eyes.

8 24 On this day the LORD has acted; * we will rejoice and be glad in it. A Reading from the Book of 1 Corinthians 15:19-26 If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. At the conclusion, the lector says The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. Gospel Acclamation All stand. An Alleluia verse is sung by the cantor or choir and repeated twice by the congregation.

9 The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to John 20:1-18 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him. Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to their homes. But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him. When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for? Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus said to her, Mary! She turned and said to him in Hebrew, Rabbouni! (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God. Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, I have seen the Lord ; and she told them that he had said these things to her. At the conclusion the says The Gospel of the Lord People Praise to you, Lord Christ. Sermon The Rev. Ryan Fischer

10 The Renewal of Baptismal Vows The addresses the people in these words, all standing Through the Paschal mystery, dear friends, we are buried with Christ by Baptism into his death, and raised with him to newness of life. I call upon you, therefore, now that our Lenten observance is ended, to renew the solemn promises and vows of Holy Baptism, by which we once renounced Satan and all his works, and promised to serve God faithfully in his holy catholic Church. People People People People People Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to Jesus Christ? I do. Do you believe in God the Father?

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Will you continue in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers? I will, with God's help. Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin,
