1 ORDER OF WORSHIP Sunday, April 5, :00 am and 11:30 am graceseattle.org

2 EASTER 2015 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before LORD, our Maker! Psalm 95:6 No matter who you are a committed follower Jesus, a person curious about Christianity, or a skeptic spirituality God is callg you to worship him. Wherever you are on journey, we hope that you feel welcomed and at home. Perhaps you have never been to church (or not a long time) and fear that you will not know what to do, how to act, or what to say. Be assured: God s grace is for people just like you. We follow an ancient liturgical pattern our worship, drawg from wisdom Christians who have gone before us. Every Sunday we renew our commitment to God, fer him our prayers and gifts, confess our ss, receive forgiveness, hear from God s word, and celebrate Lord s Supper toger. We fd worshippg this way liberates us from our culture's obsession with that which is novel. We have also found worshippg this way to be deeply and proundly formative over time. If you are not used to worship, or not used to worshippg this manner, give yourself some time to get acclimated. We also make every effort to expla thgs as we go along. We must pot out, however, that danger liturgical worship is that it could become an empty ritual. We realize that, at its heart, worship is proundly relational. It encompasses both our relationship with God and our relationship with one anor. Every week we gar to meet with God, strengn our ties to one anor, and welcome strangers to our congregation. For se reasons, although our worship is structured and formed by ancient practices, we also strive for it to be warm and personal. In all this, our great confidence is that God enjoys drawg near to us all. Let us worship!

3 FOR REFLECTION The great joy that disciples felt when y saw risen Lord, that burng heart that y experienced on way to Emmaus were not because mysteries an or world were revealed to m, but because y saw Lord. exander Schmemann, For Life World The bride eyes not her garment, But her dear Bridegroom's face; I will not gaze at glory, But on my Kg grace. Not at crown He giveth, But on His pierced hand; The Lamb is all glory Of Emmanuels land. Anne Cous & Samuel Rurford, The Sands Time Are Skg No longer do I call you servants, for servant does not know what his master is dog; but I have called you friends. Jesus, to his disciples, John 15:15 Jesus entire life and death is an act friendship. Gail O'Day

It has been practice church for thousands years to have portions bible read durg worship services. The assumption behd this practice is that we are people who need to be shaped by all God s word. LECTIO SACRA John 20:110 Now on first day week Mary Magdalene came to tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that stone had been taken away from tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and or disciple, one whom Jesus loved, and said to m, They have taken Lord out tomb, and we do not know where y have laid him. So Peter went out with or disciple, and y were gog toward tomb. Both m were runng toger, but or disciple outran Peter and reached tomb first. And stoopg to look, he saw len cloths lyg re, but he did not go. Then Simon Peter came, followg him, and went to tomb. He saw len cloths lyg re, and face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, not lyg with len cloths but folded up a place by itself. Then or disciple, who had reached tomb first, also went, and he saw and believed; for as yet y did not understand Scripture, that he must rise from dead. Then disciples went back to ir homes. The word Lord! Thanks be to God! Musical terludes are cluded our service order to provide space for reflection and worship. INTERLUDE O R D E R O F W O R S H I P 2

6 S T A N D I N G CONFESSION OF SIN mighty and merciful God, we have sned agast you, thought, word and deed. We have not loved you with all our heart. We have not loved ors as you have loved us. We are truly sorry. Adapted from A New Zealand Prayer Book Confession s happens with context relationship, both with God and each or. We confess toger, community, before a gracious God who has given us himself. Confession both acknowledges our need for mercy and celebrates its abundance Christ. In your mercy forgive what we have been, help us to amend what we are, and direct what we shall be. That we may delight your will, and walk your ways, through Jesus Christ our Savior. (You are vited to confess your ss silently.) RECEIVING OF GRACE Adapted from Romans 8 Brors and sisters, hear good news! There is refore now no condemnation for those who are Christ Jesus. For we are sure that neir death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor thgs present nor thgs to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anythg else all creation, will be able to separate us from love God Christ Jesus our Lord. May peace Christ be with you. And also with you! O R D E R O F W O R S H I P 3
