2 WELCOME TO WORSHIP AT UNIVERSITY LUTHERAN CHURCH on this Easter Sunday. We give thanks to God for raising Jesus from the dead and giving to all of us the hope of a new life in Christ. We also rejoice and give thanks for God s gift of salvation that is made evident in Jesus death and resurrection. We gather this morning to give witness to this salvation in the way that we have love for one another and are willing to forgive one another, just as God in Christ has loved and forgiven each and every one of us. WE WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE LORD S TABLE to receive God s gift of forgiveness and the powerful freedom of a new life in Christ. Please come down the center aisle, proceed to the communion rail, and kneel or stand at the first open space. Hold out your hand to receive the bread. Gluten-free wafers are available. Please indicate your desire for a wafer at the time you are offered the bread. You may drink either from an individual glass, which will be served first, or from the chalice. The individual glasses in the center of the tray contain grape juice (golden color). The outside glasses contain red wine. An acolyte will pass by to pick up your individual glass. In the spirit of continuous communion, please return to your seat via the side aisles after you have drunk from the glass or chalice. After everyone has been served at the communion rail, the ministers will serve anyone in the pew that is unable to come forward. Please indicate your desire in this regard to the pastor. Parents who desire that their children not receive communion may bring them forward for a blessing.

6 Salutation P: The Lord be with you. C: And also with you. Prayer of the Day A: Let us pray together: C: God of our salvation, you raised Jesus from the dead and confirmed your desire to save all of humanity. Grant to us your Spirit so that with the hope of our own resurrection, we may be set free from our fear of death to proclaim the good news of your realm and follow in the way of Jesus, in whose name we pray. Amen. (Please be seated) First Lesson Acts 10:34-43 Then Peter began to speak to them: "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." L: The word of God. C: Thanks be to God. Psalm Hymn This Joyful Eastertide Green Hymnal #149 Second Lesson Romans 6:3-11 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For whoever has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. The death he died, he died to sin, once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. 6

7 L: The word of God C: Thanks be to God. (Please stand) Gospel Acclamation Gospel 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? 7

8 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. P: The Gospel of the risen Christ. C: Thanks be to God.

Nygard Jr. Living is the Spirit through a thousand, thousand years; Living through our triumphs, through our burdens and tears; Now in celebration, now in jubilee, We confess the wonder of the Trinity. Living is the spirit through our risen Lord, The living Savior and the truth of his word. Living is the savior, resurrected Son, Living from the manger through Easter s new dawn. Sin no longer rules us; death holds no further sway; Now redeemed, we follow in his light, his truth, his way. Living is the spirit through our risen Lord, The living Savior and the truth of his word. Living is the Savior, from before the frame of time. Living through creation of a cosmic design; Author of his commandments, guide to heaven s door, Judge of all who have sinned, but yet his mercies endure.

ULC is in a period of transition. In September, Pastor Tim Wolbrecht was installed as our interim pastor. Our Transition Team then met for six months and created our Mission Site Profile, a necessary step before forming a Call Committee. The Call Committee was installed during our service on April 9, and they are beginning their exciting process to bring a new pastor to ULC. ULC is also in a period of celebration. We are enjoying special events as we give thanks for our first 100 years and look toward an exciting future.

We offer a variety of liturgies for worship in order to make a joyful noise unto God every Sunday. As a Reconciling in Christ Congregation, we affirm the dignity and worth of people of all races, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identity, social status, age, physical capability and economic condition. As a Greening Congregation, we strive to be faithful stewards of God s creation. As an Advocating Congregation we make our voices known to our governing authorities on behalf of those who are crying out for justice and peace.
