2 ORDER OF WORSHIP OPENING VOLUNTARIES Saraband for the Morning of Easter Herbert Howells ( ) Rise Up, My Love Healey Willan ( ) Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come. Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. Concerto in B-flat for Trumpet and Organ George Philipp Telemann ( ) Please stand at the ringing of the bells. *CALL TO WORSHIP Minister: Alleluia! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns! Christ is risen! All: He is risen indeed! Alleluia! *HYMN IN PROCESSION Jesus Christ Is Risen Today EASTER HYMN (see bulletin) PRAYER OF CONFESSION Almighty God, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ; we acknowledge that we are unworthy of your redeeming grace. We have not believed your promises, nor trusted in our living Lord. Through worldliness of spirit, our eyes have been closed to his presence among us. Through disappointment of mind, our hearts have not burned within us at the sound of his word. We have forgotten the glad tidings of his victory over death, and not known the things that make for our peace. Forgive us, we pray, and restore unto us the joy of your salvation, through him who is our Mediator and Advocate, even Jesus Christ our Lord. PROMISE OF THE GOSPEL CHORAL RESPONSE Easter Fanfare Paul Fetler (b. 1920) Christ the Lord is risen, Alleluia!

3 *THE PEACE Minister: People: As a forgiven people, let us share Christ s peace with one another. The peace of Christ be with you. And also with you. During the peace, children through fifth grade may process to the Chapel for their Easter service. WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION O Christ our Redeemer, you are the brightness of God s glory and express image of God s person, whom death could not conquer, nor the tomb imprison; as you have shared our mortal frailty in the flesh, help us to share your everlasting triumph in the resurrection. Let no shadow of the grave make us fearful and no fear of death turn our hearts from you. Reveal yourself to us as the first and the last, the Living One, our Savior and our Lord. Amen. EPISTLE LESSON I Corinthians 15:51-57 ANTHEM Denn wir haben hie keine bleibende Statt Johannes Brahms ( ) Denn wir haben hie keine bleibende Statt sondern die zukünftige suchen wir. For we have here no continuing city, but we seek the future. Siehe, ich sage euch ein Geheimnis: Wir werden nicht alle entschlafen, wir werden aber alle verwandelt werden; und dasselbige plötzlich, in einem Augenblick, zu der Zeit der letzten Posaune. Denn es wird die Posaune schallen, und die Toten werden auferstehen unverweslich, und wir werden verwandelt werden. Dann wird erfüllet werden das Wort, das geschrieben steht: Der Tod ist verschlungen in den Sieg. Tod, wo ist dein Stachel? Hölle, wo ist dein Sieg? Herr, du bist würdig zu nehmen Preis und Ehre und Kraft, denn du hast alle Dinge geschaffen, und durch deinen Willen haben sie das Wesen und sind geschaffen. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we all shall be changed and suddenly, in a moment, at the sound of the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Then shall be fulfilled the word that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. O Death, where is thy sting? O Hell, where is thy victory? Lord, thou art worthy to receive all praise, honor, and glory, for thou hast created all things, and through thy will they have been and are created.

4 GOSPEL LESSON John 20:1-18 SERMON Destined in Love Ms. Jarvis For the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. I Corinthians 15:52b *HYMN Christ the Lord Is Risen Today! LLANFAIR (see bulletin) PRAYERS Minister: The Lord be with you, People: And with your spirit. Minister: Let us pray. O Lord, show your mercy upon us. People: And grant us your salvation. Minister: O God, make clean our hearts within us. People: And take not your Holy Spirit from us. The prayers conclude with: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. OFFERING OFFERTORY ANTHEM A Song to the Lamb Gerre Hancock ( ) Splendor and honor and kingly power are yours by right, O Lord our God, for you created everything that is and by your will they were created, and have their being. And yours by right, O Lamb that was slain, for with your blood you have redeemed for God, from every family, language, people and nation, a kingdom of priests to serve our God. And so, to him who sits upon the throne, and to Christ the Lamb, be worship and praise, dominion and splendor, for ever and for evermore. Alleluia!

5 *AFFIRMATION OF FAITH I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, Apostles Creed And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen. *HYMN Thine Is the Glory JUDAS MACCABEUS (see bulletin) *BENEDICTION *CLOSING VOLUNTARIES Con Bravura (Musique Héroïque) Final (Symphonie I) Georg Philipp Telemann ( ) Louis Vierne ( ) *Congregation Standing
