2 Sequoyah Hills Presbyterian Church ORDER OF WORSHIP April 5, 2015 Eight thirty and Eleven O clock We are glad that you are here worshipping with us and blessing us with your presence. Please use the meditation verse to prayerfully prepare to worship. EASTER OPENING SENTENCES AND PASSING THE PEACE:... Bert Bertelkamp MEDITATION: For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me (1 Corinthians 15:3-8). SILENT PRAYER GATHERING IN GOD S PRESENCE PRELUDE: Jesus Christ Is Risen Today... Andrew Clarke WELCOME AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR DISCIPLESHIP... Dr. Holton Siegling The attendance registers are in the pews, next to the center aisle. Please sign and pass them on to the person sitting next to you. CHORAL INTROIT: Praises for the Risen Christ... Gilbert Martin CALL TO WORSHIP...Dr. Bill Barron All: Now after the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulcher. And behold, there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like lightning. The angel said to the women, Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. * HYMN/ANTHEM: Raise Your Joys and Triumphs High... arr. Mary McDonald Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia! Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia! Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia! Sing, ye heav ns, and earth, reply, Alleluia! Love s redeeming work is done, Alleluia! Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia! Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia! Christ hath opened Paradise, Alleluia!

3 Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia! Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia! Dying once He all doth save, Alleluia! Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia! Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia! Foll wing our exalted Head, Alleluia! Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia! Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia! * PRAYER OF ADORATION (In Unison): For this day of days, O God, we bless your name. With angels and archangels and all the company of heaven, we rejoice that death is finished, that love prevails, that Christ is here. Let no hesitancy in believing, no heaviness of circumstance, no dullness of heart, no familiarity with Easters past deprive our souls of this day s joy and peace. For the knowledge that neither death nor life, things present or to come, or anything else within the whole creation can separate us from your love, we laud and magnify your name. Through Jesus Christ our Risen Savior. Amen. * SILENT CONFESSION * ASSURANCE OF PARDON If anyone is in Christ, that person is a new creation. The past is finished and gone; all things become fresh and new. Friends, believe in the Good News of the Gospel; In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. * GLORIA PATRI (congregation sings): Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen. CHILDREN S TIME... Rev. Mark Lampley (As the children come forward, the congregation shall sing He s Got the Whole World in His Hands ) He's got the whole world in His hands. He's got the whole world in His hands. He's got the whole world in His hands. He's got the whole world in His hands. He's got you and me brother in His hands. He's got you and me sister in His hands.
