We have failed to be an obedient church. We have not done your will, we have broken your law, we have rebelled against your love, we have not loved our neighbors, and we have not heard the cry of the needy. Forgive us, we pray. Free us for joyful obedience, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

4 *FOLLOWING THE LIGHT OF CHRIST *POSTLUDE Toccata on St. Anne Swann *Those who are able, please stand. John 11: When Mary arrived where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn t have died. 33 When Jesus saw her crying and the Jews who had come with her crying also, he was deeply disturbed and troubled. 34 He asked, Where have you laid him? They replied, Lord, come and see. 35 Jesus began to cry. 36 The Jews said, See how much he loved him! 37 But some of them said, He healed the eyes of the man born blind. Couldn t he have kept Lazarus from dying? 38 Jesus was deeply disturbed again when he came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone covered the entrance. 39 Jesus said, Remove the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead man, said, Lord, the smell will be awful! He s been dead four days. 40 Jesus replied, Didn t I tell you that if you believe, you will see God s glory? 41 So they removed the stone. Jesus looked up and said, Father, thank you for hearing me. 42 I know you always hear me. I say this for the benefit of the crowd standing here so that they will believe that you sent me. 43 Having said this, Jesus shouted with a loud voice, Lazarus, come out! 44 The dead man came out, his feet bound and his hands tied, and his face covered with a cloth. Jesus said to them, Untie him and let him go.
